This was a really beautiful read. It's very short, written intentionally to be read in one sitting. It tells the story of an elderly lady presently in Australia 2023, and when she was five and being removed from her village in Palestine in 1948. And the parallels of what has and hasn't changed in 75 years. Very poignant. Almost poetic. Definitely essential reading to help understand our current times.
