Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire by Jennifer Bing, Mike Merryman-Lotze, Jehad Abusalim
5.0
When I requested this audiobook, I expected it to be more of a collection of stories from Gaza, where the authors are from and want to express their views through art. Yet, as artistic as they were, what I received was a collection of profound essays compressing all that we need to know about the situation of the Palestinian people. I don't want to say I loved it, but the audiobook was amazing. It pierces right through the heart and shows how, behind all trauma, is a human being with a rich culture and yet with the same set of emotions anyone would have. The essays touched on several subjects and answered the most popular questions: who was the first, what is the possible solution, why not to leave? Those and many more were addressed in an easy-to-absorb, yet not easy-to-shake-off manner. I would encourage anyone who is open to learning and has limited time and resources to spend some time with these amazing people and listen to what they have to say.
