Review
First I must admit that my Mum wrote it. In my hardly impartial opinion it is a really good read with the Palestine thing as a poignant backdrop. Much the same way as Dickens is a really good read, often with social deprivation as a backdrop. Having said that, when I hear about Israel on the news now, it makes more sense because of the historic background in this book. --John Penfold,

It sees them attempting to break through the constraints of their individual cultures to personal freedom, while relationships between them change from hostility to friendship during their mutual experiences of murder, war and love.
The author spent her formative years in Palestine. Her experiences as a child inspired her to write a fictional account based on an incident that affected her own family.
