Etaf Rum, Evil Eye
#illy talks
#this book is both very relatable and also so heartbreaking as a small reflection of what is happening rn
#like as an immigrant i totally relate to Yara and her anger about not feeling like she's done what she wanted with her life
#she set out to break cycles but like at least how I relate to it is what cycle am i breaking
#if it's only for me? i'm not uplifting anyone else right along. Yara has her daughters and at least she has her love for them
#but ugh idk also love her random intrusive thoughts like she thinks like me just randomly wishing violence upon someone when they piss you
#off. and then realizing that maybe that isn't normal and seeking help and then feeling like help isnt... helping
#ugh
#such a good book
#evil eye
#etaf rum
#books
#also this passage! hit me because she's asking her grandmother about ever going back to palestine
#and i can only imagine that heartache but damn does this author just know how to write it
#and this narrator (cause audio + reading it this time) just breaks my heart how she's describing what she remembers and some good and bad
#she remembers the sparkling water of the Dead Sea but also being surrounded by the smell of death and rot
#she remembers her own father not wnating to settle the tent into a hut because that means giving up their home
#their real home and making the camp their home
#and the KEY! SHE KEPT THE KEY TO THEIR HOUSE SO THEY CAN GO BACK and three generations later and they've not gone back
#:( i really recommend this book it's written beautifully
