Cross Bones
by Kathy Reichs
The last line of this book sent me into a rage. It is hard for me to see open support for Israel, knowing the generational harm Israel has done to Palestine and surrounding arab nations. It is sickening. This book follows the story of lost bones that went to Montreal for Temperance Brenan to investigate. The whole time I was reading this book, I asked myself, "She is trying to be the basis with Israel and Palestine," but she is doing a poor job at it. I kept trying to give grace, but the last line of the book solidified to me how she felt. I know this book was written a long time ago, but it was not before Nakba.
One of the things I admire about this author is how she researches what she is saying. She may not always write using the correct words to describe groups of people, but you can tell she did some research. I also been giving grace to her earlier books because that is a world that is different than the world we are currently in. However, the clear disregard for Palestinian people in this book was a hell of no for me.
