I thought the book was informative about the cultural differences of Arab women in America and in Palestine. It provided insight into their way of life and their customs. The story was well written and followed 3 generations, although sometimes it was hard to go between …more dates and characters. I wasn't sure how to interpret the ending but it seemed like a good way to stop. I would recommend this book for people to consider family, marriage, children, feminism, & roles of society. (less)
