I found this audiobook on hoopla and had to listen to it. I love Palestinian fiction stories, especially those that weave together multiple generations of families. This particular book focuses on three of them: Baladi, Ammar, and Salameh. I appreciated how the author connected the characters to each other and my only gripe is that the book is too short. I wanted more from the characters. Another thing I didn’t care for is the inclusion of a cop, I never want to read about them. Otherwise, this was a great debut novel and I look forward to more from this author.
