Wow. I saw this book on Instagram for a while and decided I'd get it from the library because it sounded good. And wow, was it. It's a hard read about a Palestinian woman and how she got to be imprisoned by the Israeli government. It's a rundown of her life, from marriages to work to family. All of it's there and it's a fantastic read. Highly, highly recommend it.
