This book felt like it was supposed to be character driven but didn't really develop the characters enough to make me care about them. The only one who was fleshed out much was Hana, who was not even the main character. There were lots of descriptions of fighting and a good cursory explanation for why the formation of Israel was so contentious. But nowhere near enough story or character development to make this a good story.
