Description

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 at the back of it that he and his circle of relatives had fled nineteen years earlier. To his surprise, when he found the home he was once greeted by Dalia Eshkenazi Landau, a nineteen-year-old Israeli college student, whose circle of relatives left fled Europe for Israel following the Holocaust. At the stoop in their shared home, Dalia and Bashir started a rare friendship, forged within the aftermath of war and tested over the following half century in ways that neither could believe 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.
