This Book Betrays My Brother

This author came to my attention because she was asked to leave Politics and Pen event for speaking about the situation in Gaza, her calm and to the point responses as she was escorted out made me feel that she was the kind of voice I needed to be paying attention to.

Goodreads lists this book as Young Adult, I'm not sure that when I was in that age range (12-18), I would have been able to appreciate the exercise in nuance that this book has to offer, but I certainly would have appreciated the realism of a certain situation (spoiler: it's about the way a rape victim is treated when she comes forward) which was bleak but honest. I think I'll be thinking about this book for a good long while.
