(3) YA Barakat tells about her girlhood in Palestine. Most of the book takes place during 1967's Six-Day War and its aftermath, when her family members, having fled Ramallah for Jordan, find themselves living as refugees. Reading and writing help sustain Barakat through the uncertainty of everyday life. The author relates her idiosyncratic collection of memories in vivid, poetic prose. Reading list.
