Title: Not a Great Book, Others are better.....
Review: on the Palestinian reality, especially, I strongly suggest reading as soon as you are able, Masha Hamilton's wonderful rendition of Palestinian Village life in the past, "Staircase of a Thousand Steps", which far better connnects to this People and their Plight than does Ms. Wilentz who doesn't as other reviews have stated, really get beneath stereotypes. I love all novels about the Mideast but this one just doesn't cut it.
Is this product review negative?
