This is a very hard book to "rate" as it talks about things that shouldn't be "rated". Quietly devastating, this covers two incidents of two women being killed across 25 years, both of whom are Palestinian. Beautifully written, flowing and difficult in a way that's hard to describe, this is a must read for anyone wanting to read Palestinian literature. Uncomfortable, but that's the point.
