Another brilliant read rising above terrible trauma and sadness.

Firstly this book is written in a truly innovative way, no conventional chapters but numbered sections - some a few lines long and others many pages. I found this style very easy to read and absorb the vastly disparate ideas and facts offered as it allowed for them to stand alone as fascinating snippets, but at the same time weave a wonderfully complex and meaningful whole. If morally difficult stories such as this based on so much that is bad about our world, did not manage to rise above political chicanery and dishonesty, no-one would read them. This book in particular just could touch hearts and minds within both countries, Israel and Palestine, and allow for a change in the future? It does not take sides or judge, but also does not exonerate or blame one over the other. This a powerful metaphor for the way in which intractable conflicts just might be changed by reaching those on both sides equally and sowing a seed of peace!
