Gates to Tangier | Mois Benarroch
Pickpick

Such a solid read with so many layers of meaning. At its core, this is a story of a family of Jewish siblings traveling together to find their lost half-brother in Morocco, but it's also a platform for musings on war, culture, society, antisemitism, and the relationship between Jewish and Muslim cultures. Bits of surrealism throughout also highlight the profound lessons found within everyday interactions with people we otherwise pass by unnoticed.
