It is fascinating and highly readable even as in provides a powerful in-depth lens of the occupation.
Sambac Beneath Unlikely Skies by Heba Hayek
Sambac Beneath Unlikely Skies by Heba Hayekis written for those who had to leave—collected remembrances of a childhood in Gaza by a woman far from Palestine’s sun and sea. Overindulgent, chaotic and sentimental, Heba Hayek’s narrator struggles to navigate life in colder, unfamiliar worlds. She holds tightly to memories of home, hoping they will lead back to her sisters and mothers.
