Title: Lily loves Ami
Review: Ten Thousand Lovers has a lot to say about the daily conflicts and commonalities that make up Arab/Israeli life. It was refreshing to see this "hot" topic approached from such an ordinary perspective, even though Ami our main male character has anything but an "ordinary" job. We tend to see so much information that is polarized to one view or another, it's easy to forget that most perspectives are likely much more moderate than those we see on the evening news. I liked Ami and Lily; they were earnest, passionate, and quite believable in the immediacy of their love during turbulent times. I enjoyed the linguistic information which is sprinkled throughout the story, and I think this novel would be an excellent selection for a book club, as their is plenty of fodder for discussion; albeit the discussion could become quite intense in a hurry depending on your political beliefs.
