My #recommendsday pick - this amazing memoir by Palestinian writer Suad Amiry. She describes life on the West Bank in such a funny & real way, despite everything she had to endure. Through diaries & email correspondence, she brilliantly captures her experiences as a woman who lived "illegally" in her own country while HER DOG was granted a Jerusalem identity card. The curfews, check-points & crazy shenanigans she describes are so worth the read.

LeahBergen I have this and haven't read it yet. Thanks for the reminder! 9y
Yamich49 @LeahBergen No problem. It's so good! 9y
