A very well researched book! When I finished I felt I better understood the tragedy of the Israeli/Palestinian crisis. The history is set around two families: one forced from their beloved home and another receiving the home and promised a better life in a new safe haven for the Jewish people. In a meeting one can only consider an extraordinary risk, a Jewish daughter (Dalia)and a Palestinian son (Bashir) from each family form a friendship. Over the years, each of them hear and share hard truths. It will leave you sad, heartbroken and confused but you will be glad for the voices of Dalia and Bashir. It will also help you listen with greater understanding and empathy for the individuals and families lost and still struggling in such despair and fear. I highly recommend.
