“How does one live in a world that turns away from such injustice for so long? Is this what it means to be a Palestinian?”

What a novel. I’m in awe of this book and writing had me captivated till the very end. Even though, the characters are not real, the events that are mentioned in the book that occurred in Palestine are real, 100%. May Allah ease the suffering of my Palestinian brothers and sisters.

I just found that she has an apologist stance towards the Assad regime in Syria.
