Title: Remarkable: What Violence Does to One Woman's Soul
Product review: Masha Hamilton does not flinch when she writes. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US is the story of an American journalist, Caddie Blair, who finds herself suddenly bereft, when her photojournalist lover is killed in an ambush. Caddie refuses to leave Jerusalem, preferring to cover the violence around her. She also begins to understand it in a visceral way, as she moves in so close to "the story" akin to a moth to a flame. This is a powerful, wrenching book, with language that is spare, poetic, and beautiful.As a journalist, author Masha Hamilton has covered the world's hot spots. Obviously this book went close to the bone. Read it. You will never forget it.
