I didn't know much about Lebanon before picking up this book so I learned a lot and researched a bit out of curiosity as well. The book itself is very well done, I feel that the colour scheme works well with the subject matter, especially since most of the plot happens in a dark room. Some of the events are so unimaginable to me, since I've never experienced war first hand, it was absolutely astounding how people cope with that and try to get used to the most terrifying circumstances.
