This is a heartbreaking story of the suffering, strength and hope of the Palestinian people. And although these characters are fictional they represent the lives of real people. I hope that one day Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea.

This book was heartbreaking and beautiful. It provided such a very real and heavy account of one family and the generations of tragedy and loss they experienced at the hands of the Israeli occupation. How love still grows amongst a lifetime of fear, displacement and death. How hearts can break and freeze, and that moments of connection with loved ones can save and thaw them. This book was utterly devastating and heart-wrenchingly beautiful. April blooms 🌱
