Answer:
Early in the book, several flashbacks are employed to establish the individuals and their society, helping readers to better grasp both their thought processes and their links to other characters. In a final flash forward, we see that Susan and Hamadi remain close friends even after the events of the story take place.
Evidence 1. "Susan's family had lived in Jerusalem for three years before she was ten and drove out to see her grandmother every weekend. They would find her patting fresh dough. Sometimes she moved her lips as she worked." Was she praying? Singing a secret song? Susan had never seen her grandmother rushing.
Evidence 2. "And Hamadi said something Susan would remember years later, whenever she was sad herself, even after college... We go on. On and on. We don't stop where it hurts. We turned a corner. It is the reason why we are living. To turn a comer. Come, let's move."
