What a beautiful book. And so important to read in today’s climate. A story about multiple generations coping with fleeing their homeland to find an even scarier reality in the US. I feel like it truly reflects the Palestinian-American existence and the struggles that comes with it even before October of last year. If you are looking to become more informed on the Palestinian experience and some history but don’t want a history book read this.
