Sadness Is a White Bird by Moriel Rothman-Zecher
5.0

This is a beautifully written book. Moriel has a wonderful way with language and presents vivid imagery. He transports us into the mind of a young man being pulled by all of the tensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I did find the story to be a bit graphic and oversexualized. If not for that, I could imagine using this book as the basis for a deep discussion with a broader group of people.
