Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad - 4* - My Review

Set primarily in Haifa, Ramallah, and the West Bank, this book explores many versions of the term “ghost” via the story of Palestinian sisters Sonia and Haneen. Sonia is an actress who has been living in England for eleven years. Haneen is working as a college professor in Israel. Sonia visits Haneen and, through meeting director Mariam, gets involved in a controversial production of Hamlet. It blends elements of family dynamics, historic conflict, and a woman coming to terms with her past and her identity. This one is written from the Palestinian perspective. I am always interested in understanding more about our world and will continue reading books about this region.
