i was so enjoying the beginning of this book - it's a love story framed by the vivid realities of the israeli-palestinian conflict. dana's husband disappears, and she has waited for him to return for eleven years. i was very much into the story until around page 232, and that's when it all started to fall apart for me. you spend the first 231 pages in anticipation - where is her husband? why did he disappear? why won't anyone tell her where he is? the answers, though perhaps truthful, are disappointing and shallow. what started out as a novel i felt invested in, ended as one that i could not wait to put down. overall, a disappointment.
