I loved how this novel was so many things: an insightful story about a woman trying to figure out her life after an affair ends, a group of actors rehearsing Hamlet in Arabic, and an insight into everyday life on the West Bank in Palestine.

I grew to know each character and appreciate their strengths and flaws; their interactions and conversations, whether about acting, politics, or each other, rang so true.
