520 | _aIt is 1977. Leila Ashrawi, from a middle-class Palestinian family dispossessed during the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, and John Ferris, a New Zealand Army captain serving as a UN military observer on the Israel-Lebanon border, meet and fall in love. Amidst confusion and violence the couple's plan to make a new life together on the other side of the world comes only at the expense of great anguish and desperation. There is page-turning drama and heart-stopping tension here, and first-class writing, but also humour, comradeship and, above all, a deeply moving love story that stretches across more than two decades. | ||
