This is going to be a difficult book to get through if I read it in public like I am right now. I'm waiting in a doctor's office lobby for a friend to finish their appointment, and I really wish I'd brought a simpler or less thought-provoking book to read. I don't want to cry in front of these strangers.

Just finished the chapter on Beirut. Feeling the helplessness of financial troubles myself, so this one was particularly relatable. The war zones are - thankfully, blessedly - not something I have endured, but all of the situations in this book are so aching and sharply pointed, and so well illustrated that you can feel yourself there. Every time I read it again I am ashamed of my comparably safe life.
