Behind You Is the Sea by Susan Muaddi Darraj

3.0

With each chapter the reader gets to know different Palestinian families in Baltimore - work, love, family, joys, traditions, intergenerational struggles, and connections with their home country. It was hard for me to keep track of the different characters and their relationships with one another. It was also hard to keep track of how much time had passed when a character re-emerged. Each chapter featured a different story but didn't really follow it through and the stories of different characters never converge to form a full narrative.
