Korte biografie
Kamila Shamsie was also awarded the City of Dortmund's Nelly Sachs Prize (€15,000) in Sept. 2019, which was withdrawn after the prize committee became aware of the German parliament's May 2019 declaration that the non-violent Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel's apartheit treatment of the Palestinians was anti-semitic, and Shamsie's support for the BDS movement.

De vertaling is niet zo goed. Het boek is echt veel beter in de originele taal. Ik ben echt geen snob, ik lees heel veel in vertaling, maar hier gaat veel verloren.
