Behind You Is the Sea by Susan Muaddi Darraj

4.0

Beautiful prose, beautiful characters. Susan Muaddi Darraj highlights the complexities of immigration and diaspora through her short stories. 

I went to a book club where the author joined us via Zoom. Thought I would share some highlights.

She considers Marcus the protagonist of the story. The book almost began and ended with his story, until she decided to open the book with Reema. Also… Rita is the Palestinian blogger behind #JusticeForRasha.
