"A gripping story with nuanced characters and historical context
that thoroughly humanizes the Palestinian-Israeli conflict."--
"Associated Press"
"Gripping...There are few novels that show the personal conflict in
such depth and complexity."-- "Booklist"
"Many of us understand the motives of both sides in the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict but neglect the stories of the
individuals involved. Here, Palestinian-born Jebreal...shares the
realities of these people...Jebreal's refusal to categorize her
characters as angelic or evil is refreshing...With a narrative
style that recalls Chico Buarque's Budapest, this work will appeal
to lovers of political fiction, particularly when focused on the
Arabic world. The novel is soon to be a major motion picture
directed by Julian Schnabel, which testifies to its relevance."--
"Library Journal"
"Packed with historical facts...A reliable refresher of the
Palestinian struggle."-- "Publishers Weekly"
