This book does not provide any easy answers to the Israeli/Palestinian issue, but it certainly makes it more personal. I loved the tension, the characters are so real... I highly recommend it. Yes, it is not a spoiler to say a child dies, but that is not what the focus is. I hesitated to pick it up at first for that very reason, but I am SO glad I did.
