Title: We are all at different levels of understanding
Review: I read this book several years ago, and continue to recommend it to my friends and book clubs. As I read the various reviews, many who were dissappointed with this book seem to be emotionally charged about the situation in the middle east. Unfortunately, there are many in the populous who are not quite as educated, nor as emotionally charged by this particular situation. This book does a wonderful job of reaching out to those who want to begin to understand the human aspect involved in this, and many other conflicts. As a mother, and one who has lived in Africa amidst severe and tragic conflict, I found this book to be both timely and engaging. Wilentz does a good job of character development without political judgement. Not an easy thing to do when conveying such charged subject.
