This collection of short stories was difficult to follow in many cases. I read this for Cross-Contemporary Literature and had a hard time digesting and dissecting some of the stories. It was informative and I found it helpful read this particular collection at this moment in time while the Israeli-Gaza conflict ensues.

A compelling collection of short stories. As every story is focused on a single place, it helps to have some knowledge of the history of Ramallah. This necessity is emphasised due to the length of the stories, which precludes extensive exposition or contextualisation.
