Abdalhawa's novel will go down as one of my all-time favorite books. Her writing is compelling, convicting, and courageous. I love books that make me feel something, and this novel delivered. The writing is poetic and makes your mind dance while reading. I also learned so much about the history of Palestinians living in Kuwait in the 1970s.
