5.0 out of 5 stars Gary Golden, Ph.D. 4 Dec 2011
By Gary Golden, Ph.D. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Perfect Paperback
This is the most even handed view that I have seen of a polarizing conflict since it portrays the humanity of the competitors for some of the most sought after real estate in the world. It reveals the character, values, flaws, and heroism of ordinary yet often noble citizens in their struggle to exist in a capricious environment where bad things often happen to good people who dare to hope for peace and dignity in harsh and combative circumstances. The complexities, idealism, and passion of the story's characters are revealed in a fascinating and suspenseful tapestry viewed through the eyes of women rather than politicians or warriors whose views more often get published. The story Dr. Casper tells is powerful and the reader may feel optimism that springs from the personal character and humanity of two peoples who are locked in an apparently intractable battle for survival. The descriptions and metaphors employed by the author are as colorful as the characters themselves. It is humanity, not factions that experiences tragedy and triumph as the story unfolds. This is a most enjoyable read, and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars KEPT ME READING 22 Sep 2011
By L. Hirt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Perfect Paperback
ISRAELA--Batya Casper--Tate Publishing & Enterprises==Rariba, an Israeli journalist, meets her husband, an Israeli Arab, when they are in school. He has no idea she is Jewish. After marrying him, she basically has no contact with her family. Her actress sister Orit misses her. Their other sister Elisheva is a nurse. How their lives as Arabs and Jews intertwine is very interesting. How long can secrets be kept and what to do about them is a big question. It shows cooperation between the cultures. The twists and turns are very good, especially the ending. The story is divided into seven parts from1955 to 1983 with the chapters going from one sister to another. Israela has a few chapters interspaced among the sisters. She also brings in a situation with Rariba's son Hamzah and Orit. I enjoyed the characters and the story which was quite unusual. Your heart goes out to the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars I could not put it down 4 Sep 2011
By FriedaK@aol.com - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Perfect Paperback
Batya Casper has used the literary device of three disparate women's voices through which she describes in painful and graphic detail the moral dilemmas of the Israeli/Palestinian confict. Readers not previously acquainted with this apparently unsolvable conflict, will gain an understanding of the mortal dangers faced by the Israeli population on a daily bsis from terror attacks, while at the same time Casper has shown an even-handed understanding of the Palestinian point of view. Casper's deep grasp of the history of the region is evident in every chapter of this intelligent, exciting, and extremely moving first novel. I am eagerly awaiting her next opus. This is an important book and I recommend it strongly.
