Girl on a Plane by Miriam Moss

3.0

It was OK. Not the most eloquently written book. It was simple and a quick read. It was interesting to hear about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict and I hadn't appreciated just how long this had been going on for. I thought that the representation of hijackers was actually very humanising and it was an interesting depiction of a fascinating life experience. However, I can't comprehend why she decided to fictionalise her experience- why not just tell the actual story? I was disappointed to find out that some of my favourite characters were not actually real. Parts of the prose jarred a bit and I just didn't get that sense of a fully rounded story
