"The majority of this book took place in Palestine in the 1940s, before Israel was declared a state. The main character is young and full of passion, getting her desire for a man she meets confused with political passion. The descriptions are rich and detailed, and she touches on the social complications surrounding the state's creation without being preachy. Thanks for the rec, Lauren!"
"Interesting about time and place but the characters seem very surface level and much seems to be left unspoken/unwritten (but not in an intriguing way)"
