Isabella Hammad has a compelling and thought-provoking writing style. She addresses a problem that has existed for years and is still topical and is constantly being driven forward by external forces. The story opens up a new perspective and challenges us to question our usual points of view. And I really like the way she ended the book with the quote “One day this war will stop, and those of us who remain will return and rebuild, and live again in these houses” by Wael Dahdouh.
