Reflection questions:

1. What is Atef's voice telling us about his post-traumatic recovery: his memory of Mustafa and his views on living in Amman, through the letters he's writing and his conversations with Alia?
2. Riham's nostalgic expressions, and the significance of home and body image to her. She's first generation: how does the notion of home and nostalgia inform her identity, compared to her parents, for instance?
3. How does the progression from silence to speech in Salt Houses positions memory as the ultimate weapon against historical erasure?
