"In 1967, Bashir Khairi, a twenty-five-year-old Palestinian, journeyed to Israel with the goal of seeing the beloved stone house with the lemon tree behind it that he and his family had fled nineteen years earlier. To his surprise, when he found the house he was greeted by Dalia Eshkenazi Landau, a nineteen-year-old Israeli college student, whose family left fled Europe for Israel following the Holocaust. On the stoop of their shared home, Dalia and Bashir began a rare friendship, forged in the aftermath of war and tested over the next half century in ways that neither could imagine on that summer day in 1967. Sandy Tolan brings the Israeli-Palestinian conflict down to its most human level, demonstrating that even amid the bleakest political realities there exist stories of hope and transformation"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

With that out of the way, this is a fantastic book for YA and adult readers to understand how Israel and Palestine have arrived the situation we are in today. The explanations are clear and nuanced, the framework is really compelling, and I think both of the central characters would feel they were represented fairly. Even though they were often at odds, I rooted for both of them.
