A heartfelt, gut wrenching account of the life of a Palestinian Family going through the tragedies of history. The characters are all well fleshed out, for a read that is incredibly human.

I was debating whether to give this book a 4 or 5 star rating for a while, but ultimately I found it quite informative, well researched and well written. Reni Eddo-Lodge makes her point with clarity and eloquence, without indulging in pointless semantic exercises, which makes this an engaging read.
