I knew little of the historical Arab/Israeli conflict, or about Middle Eastern culture when I got this book. It is a novel, but it offers interesting and intriguing glimpses into Islamic and Jewish traditions in the telling of the story. It was not an "easy read" but I am happy to have read this book, which reviewers say should be read by our politicians and the United Nations.
