John Green's “curiosity megaphone” offers a story that completely shifted my perspective and understanding of the historical complexities of TB. It also put words to the connected injustices related to our healthcare system and the product of living in an oligarchy (where there's an abundance of knowledge & resources to cure TB).

The concept of Doppelgängers and mirrors/parallels drawn were both fascinating and validating as a framework. Dense in some parts but intellectually rich & deeply introspective. Loved the undertones of identity exploration in this politically fractured moment.

Brilliant

Amb offered the wisdom and framework that I was yearning for in this current time and place. Reminding and teaching about staying in accountability, transforming ourselves, attuning widely, and speaking pointedly

Abulhawa's rich character development and style of writing always makes me want more, in the best way possible. This is a story of female camaraderie through very real collective & interpersonal traumas - rooted in sumud and offering reflections of hope.
