Gaza is a place that is often in the news, but rarely do we hear the stories of the people who live there. Month By The Sea: Encounters In Gaza is a moving and insightful memoir that offers a unique perspective on life in Gaza.

Written by a young woman who spent a month living with a family in Gaza, the book provides a rare glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary Gazans. We meet a family who has lost loved ones to the conflict, a woman who is struggling to provide for her children, and a young man who dreams of a better future.

Through her encounters with these and other Gazans, the author paints a complex and nuanced portrait of life in Gaza. She shows us the challenges that Gazans face, but also their resilience, their hope, and their dreams.

Month By The Sea is a powerful and important book that will change the way you think about Gaza. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the human cost of conflict.
