Review of 'My happiness bears no relation to happiness' on 'Goodreads'

Gently dialogical biography of a unique Palestinian poet. The author managed to beautifully combine between the history of a person living as a Palestinian during the post-WWII times and a highly individual story of how her protagonist developed as a poet.The author's voice is part of her narrative and adds to it another dimension - of somebody watching both from inside and from outside, but always with sympathy.
