Regardless, the story is a dull, limited in its scope, and smacks of white privilege and some of the negative aspects of voluntourism. The art is too primitive and childlike for my taste and is drawn by the sister who didn't actually visit Palestine, so I assume she is working from photo reference or pure imagination. Meh. (  ) villemezbrown | Aug 29, 2021 | Delphine's illustrations are simple but effective in managing to convey both her sister's outsider status, and the harsh reality of the wall and security checkpoints. A really effective and evocative graphic novel. Review copy courtesy of the publisher via NetGalley.

The graphic novel collaboration and true story of two sisters. Anaële, a writer, leaves for Palestine volunteering in an aid program, swinging between her Palestinian friends and her Israeli friends. Delphine is an artist, left behind in Liège, Belgium. From their different sides of the world, they exchange letters. Green Almonds: Letters from Palestine is a personal look into a complex reality, through the prism of the experience of a young woman writing letters to her sister about her feelings and adventures in the occupied territories. Green Almonds is an intimate story with big implications. A young woman discovers a country, works there, makes friends, lives a love story, and is confronted with the plight of the Palestinians, the violence on a daily basis that we see on our screens and read in our newspapers. Anaële's story is brought to life by Delphine's simple and evocative drawings, which give full force to the subject and evoke the complexity of this conflict, creating a journey to the everyday life of Palestinians. Green Almonds: Letters from Palestine received the Doctors Without Borders Award for best travel diary highlighting the living conditions of populations in precarious situations when it was published in France in Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down."
What I've learned from Robert Frost, World War Z, and Green Almonds: walls are good when fending off zombies; not so much in other circumstances, when the human tendency to dehumanize everyone and everything that isn't our own tribe is made all the easier when we don't even have to look at them anymore.
