If this work was based on an actual family’s story it might have resonated better but, Amanda Sthers, seemingly fictional story, tends to miss its mark. The writing style tries way too hard to be 'trendy/modern' as well as too often jarringly 'different' for its own sake– this tends to make it rather more boring than involving, IE; why did the main character choose ‘Pig’ farming in Israel? With a more conventional approach, it might have been more human, As is, it’s just too overloaded with ‘political’ statements about certain elements of modernity, and unsure of its connections with the past (as it tends to perhaps need more of) Has moments of thoughtfulness but, not enough to cut through the convoluted melodramatics to make you fully care.
