A chance encounter in New York brings two strangers together: Liat is an idealistic translation student, Hilmi a talented young painter. Together they explore the city, share fantasies, jokes and homemade meals, and fall in love. There is only one problem: Liat is from Israel, Hilmi from Palestine. Keeping their deepening relationship secret, the two lovers build an intimate universe for two in this city far from home. But outside reality can only be kept at bay for so long. After a tempestuous visit from Hilmi's brother, cracks begin to form in the relationship, and their points of difference - Liat's military service, Hilmi's hopes for Palestine's future - threaten to overwhelm their shared present. When they return separately to their divided countries, Liat and Hilmi must decide whether to keep going, or let go. A prizewinning bestseller, but banned in Israeli schools for its frank and tender depiction of a taboo relationship, this is the deeply affecting story of two people trying to bridge one of the most deeply riven borders in the world.

    Har nyss börjat läsa boken och gillar den redan, mycket lätt att läsa och följa med och det handlar om en tjej som heter Liat och en kille som heter Hilmi som blir kära i varandra men kan deras kärlek verkligen korsa dera olika vägar?

  2. Love and Loss, Divided and Inseparable
    Woodi Stock (Göteborg), 13 april 2018

    This is a love story about loss. It is an emotional and evocative "cri de coeur" of heartbreak, but a heart not broken. It's an answer to the petty temporal, finite divisions, here between an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man, that succumb to the eternal, infinite force of love that binds us all together. In the end it is a beautiful word portrait to replace the photo never taken. And, it is a powerful statement of the need to put aside the fear and "embrace one's enemy" in peace, harmony, and even love.
