Reviews
This fascinating book is a tapestry of compassion, grief, and hope about a land that has not been running short of any. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has long been one of the most bitterly disputed and extensively analyzed in the world, and yet only a few books can claim to grasp the human dimension of the conflict as honestly and thoroughly as this one. This painfully beautiful narrative lingers in the mind long after the book is over., "Rarely...have the competing narratives of individual experience been set forth so poignantly as in Sandy Tolan's The Lemon Tree...Tolan is a magnificent storyteller. The Lemon Tree reads like a novel."--Roane Carey, "The Nation" "A wonderful book. I learned so much about the Middle East conflict--from a historical and human perspective. The author took great care with his research. I walked away with a better understanding of the Jewish and Palestinian points of view."--Kathy Litts, Oregon Book Company, Orgeon City, OR "This truly remarkable book presents a powerful account of Palestinians and Israelis who try to break the seemingly endless chain of hatred and violence. Capturing the human dimension of the conflict so vividly and admirably, Sandy Tolan offers something both Israelis and Palestinians al too often tend to ignore: a ray of hope."-- Tom Segev, author of "One Palestine,"" Complete "and "1949": "The First Israelis""" "This is a hard book to read with dry eyes and without a lump in one's throat. And it is hard to read, also, without feeling-- dare one even say the word in speaking about the Middle East?-- something approaching hope. Sandy Tolan has found a remarkable story, and has told it in all its beauty and sadness."-- Adam Hochschild, author of "Bury the Chains "and "King Leopold's Gold""" "This is a passionate and astonishing story through which some of the most extraordinary events of the twentieth century unfold. The inspiring lives of two unique people, and Tolan's compassion and cleverness in narrating them, illuminate the tragedy of Palestine in the most moving and revealing way. Readers will acquire a huge amount ofknowledge while being carried along effortlessly through the epic events of war and peace in the Middle East."-- Karma Nabulsi, Prize Research Fellow, Oxford University, and author of "Traditions of War" "This fascinating book is a tapestry of compassion, grief, and hope about a land that has not been running short of any.

  • the lemon tree

    Very good book that should be read by historians or students that are interested in politics or maybe in the foreign service. Also good reading for any person interested in the middle east culture.
