I — what??? I sat riveted to this audiobook all morning, and then literally said, “what the fuck” when it ended the way it did. I’m having a difficult time rating this, which is usually the case for novella/short story works. But I’ll give this 5-stars because I could not put it down. It’s not a happy book. It’s story of two different people, on different sides of history. One is an Israeli soldier in 1949 and the other is a Palestinian woman born 25 years later. This whole story is just…. Maybe I’ll find some words later.
