This is a beautiful and heartbreaking story that so delicately weaves stories of resistance with storytelling AS resistance. This book highlights how when you are part of a people trying to be erased, living and telling your story is an act of resistance. To be resilient and defiant is an act of resistance, and Nahr is all of those things. To love and to find beauty is a form of resistance, and we see that in her story, even in the brutal violence she experience. It’s definitely difficult to read and dives into sexual harassment in violence pretty explicitly, just as a CW, but every aspect of this story I’d important and a part of Nahr’s intricately woven narrative that makes her who she is. I really liked this book and the complexity and humanization it brings to Palestinians - those forced out of their land and those remaining living under a brutal apartheid in it. It brings complexity to being an Arab woman and the cultural strength and challenges that come with that. Highly recommend!
