Review:
"A searing novel" (Catherine Taylor Guardian)
"In a humorous and beguiling deadpan, Boianjiu conveys the fleeting, vanishing experience of hovering between adolescence and adulthood, at the same time as providing a rare portrait of young Israelis being minced through military service" (Robert Collins Sunday Times)
"More full of life than any young writer I’ve come across in a long time." (Nicole Krauss, author of THE HISTORY OF LOVE)
"Reads like it was written in bullets, tear gas, road flares and love. I demand another book from her, immediately." (Alexander Chee, author of EDINBURGH)
"The focus of Boianjiu’s book isn’t those horrible events: it is the tension that exists just outside the line of fire, the moment before a crisis erupts. Boianjiu’s best writing happens as the book progresses, when the teens let their minds wander into what they have experienced, and imagine an apocalyptic future for their country" (Sheera Frenkel The Times)
