4.0

This is a series of short stories about life in Gaza. Each story is woven together really well and feels complete. The characters feel realistic, and the sometimes terrible things that happen are related in ways that don't feel overly voyeuristic or sensational.

My favourite stories: Black Grapes; The Long Braid.
