I really enjoyed the depiction of the daily lives of Palestinians and their everyday interactions with their community — and with Israelis. Politics and conflict overshadowed everything — transportation, work, family gatherings, friendships — but normalcy survived. The plot lost steam about halfway through, though. I also couldn't bring myself to care much about Chloe, the American activist character. ( )
