THE BRIDGE WE BUILT: A Novel Of Love Between Jerusalem And Berlin
The Bridge We Built — Final Edition
A Novel of Love between Jerusalem and Berlin
In a world still divided by faith, memory, and borders, two hearts dare to build a bridge.
When Miriam, a young Israeli journalist, meets Ahmed, a Palestinian architect, their connection defies history itself. From the golden light of Jerusalem to the quiet winter streets of Berlin, their love becomes both a refuge and a rebellion — a fragile hope in a time that punishes understanding.
This Final Edition of The Bridge We Built presents a fully revised and expanded version of the original novel — refined prose, deeper emotional clarity, and new scenes that bring Miriam and Ahmed’s story to life with greater intensity and grace.
Poetic, moving, and deeply human, The Bridge We Built is a story about the cost of reconciliation, the courage to love across divisions, and the light that survives in even the most fractured worlds.
For readers of Elif Shafak, Anthony Doerr, and Khaled Hosseini.

This book was amazing. I read it within 24 hours because it was so good that I couldn’t put it down. It is a tender yet unflinching exploration of love, identity, and resilience set against the backdrop of two cities steeped in history and conflict. The connection between Miriam and Ahmed defies the political and cultural walls that divide them. The characters feel deeply human — flawed, hopeful, and achingly real — making their journey both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
The emotional honesty of this book stands out and grips you. It doesn’t shy away from the pain of displacement, the scars of generational trauma, or the quiet courage it takes to love across divides. Yet, it also offers moments of joy and connection that remind us why bridges — whether literal or metaphorical — are worth building.
