The title of the book Wat duurt wachten lang translates to “What a long wait”. To accentuate the long time, the word wait is put at the bottom of the image.
The book is about Abdullah, a young Palestinian who is following a work experience program in the thrift store where writer Rino Feys is the work manager. Shortly before his journey ends, war breaks out between Hamas and Israel. In What a Long Wait, Rino tells Abdullah’s story as Gaza slowly turns into hell.
