Abulhawa made me connect with the characters so strongly, even with such a large cast. Nazmiyeh is such a spectacular character and i felt like i really knew her.
This book tells the story of the intense violence and oppression that Palestinians experienced (and still experience) at the hands of Israeli settlers & military. It was so emotional & often hard to read, but a very important story to be told. The main family’s love for each other connected the characters and kept hope alive despite everything.
Free Palestine past & present. From the river to the sea! 🇵🇸
