I can see what you mean about how she wrote about the shooter, but that’s how she wrote about Afaf’s whole life really, her parents, herself. Only her conversion brought out much emotion in the character.

It is sad that the US is known for such an awful thing as school shootings. Though there is a horrible one in this book, it’s not the main focus.

I just wish she hadn’t tried to go in so many directions. I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say I did not care about the shooter’s perspective at all. And the way she wrote about him was very flat. I kind of get why- don’t give him too much attention, but it didn’t quite work for me.

I’m glad you liked this one a lot. The premise sounds good — in which there are two stories going on — in the present with the gun situation and with her background. I could use more Palestinian tales so I’ll look for it. ps. Isn’t it sad that it’s always the U.S. with the gun shooting tales. ugh.
