“In a conflict where both sides have tended to dehumanize the other, Kaplan has created two extremely human characters—one Palestinian, the other Israeli. In observing such a fictional relationship I found myself looking at the Israelis that I came across this week in a slightly different manner. I found I wanted to try and shed some of the stereotypes that living on one side of the conflict had given me. Maybe this is the purpose of fiction in the first place—to break down barriers.” —Al Fajr (Jerusalem Palestinian Weekly)

“Incredible thrills. An ingenious plot. This book is a gripper.” —Jerusalem Post. $0.99 on Kindle and iBooks.
