Uneven but wry, magical short stories. Stories like memories. Coming of age, cultural taboos, Palestinian Bedouin women.

P103 “The queens of darkness don‘t know that this is who they are. Sovereignty is a quarry they‘ve never been trained to hunt. Nor does it occupy their thoughts. Rather, the only quarry they know is life itself—life unadorned.”

P25 “Among Bedouins, there are many things that don‘t die even if they are buried in the ground.”
