A review by megansoetaert
Behind You Is the Sea by Susan Muaddi Darraj

emotional fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I could’ve read whole books about these characters. The stories flow together in a way that doesn’t even make them feel like short stories, showing the interconnectedness of Palestinian American communities. Each story highlights the diversity of Palestinian experiences in the US, while still showing the similarities characters face. 

This was very well done, and i can’t wait to read Darraj’s other books.
