A beautifully woven story(ies) about grief, war, family, occupation, friendship. 

Set in 2016 and earlier and taking place in the West Bank and Jerusalem, there are some obvious differences between these stories and the current war in Gaza - but, (despite the differences) the details here about place and people help me feel better connected to people in Gaza now.
