Recenzii
I always find it difficult to describe what Gaza is like, and I think a lot of reportage struggles to convey the reality of life there, too. It's hard to get the claustrophobia of siege across to an audience. This debut novel from British Palestinian Selma Dabbagh, set in Gaza City during the second intifada in the 00s, does that well. Dabbagh is gentle in her treatment of the Mujahed family, chronicling their hopes and dreams as well as their suffering
A punchy first novel by a British Palestinian lawyer ... Beautifully observed ... the plot races and the voices are strong. The reader follows each person down the chosen path and, crucially, cares what becomes of them
[Dabbagh's] talent for nailing detail is evident ... The author's assured command of her material means she can switch registers with ease, interleaving escalating tension and welcome humour ... Dabbagh herself scores highly with her debut novel
This is a very successful debut novel ... The writing is both literary and accessible, fast-paced, passionate, exuberant and heart-lurching. We'll be hearing much more from Selma Dabbagh
Incendiary
A breezy, thriller-esque debut ... that gets under the skin of the situation in Gaza
Wonderfully perceptive and gripping
An engrossing, suspenseful debut novel
Takes us, observantly and deftly, into the lives and feelings of those who live in Gaza and want ordinary lives
