Official synopsis Publisher
No. 1 New Release in Israel Travel Guides and No. 1 Bestseller in Jerusalem Travel Guides.
If Linda and her family had foreseen the challenges of relocating to Israel and Palestine, they might have hesitated… They have no idea of the horrors in store. No idea that murders will take place on their doorstep. No idea they’ll be so close to a fatal bombing, or that they’ll adopt a dangerous dog. As they enjoy delicious local food and immerse themselves in different cultures, will the unspoilt countryside and friendships help them overcome the difficulties, or will they flee from an area which at times seems to have one wall, but two prisons?
Perfect for fans of The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan, Unorthodox by Deborah Feldman and Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi.
