a stunning novel about real muslim people whose lives are all colored by the cruel backdrop of war in Palestine 

it’s one of the best books I’ve read in a while, and really delves into the flaws of characters borne through generational trauma – highly, highly recommend to anyone looking to bring nuance and life to the headlines and statistics of the past few weeks

just incredible muslim literature <3
