To his surprise, when he found the house he was greeted by Dalia Ashkenazi Landau, a nineteen-year-old Israeli college student, whose family fled Europe for Israel following the Holocaust. On the stoop of their shared home, Dalia and Bashir began a rare friendship, forged in the aftermath of war and tested over the next thirty-five years in ways that neither could imagine on that summer day in 1967. Based on extensive research, and springing from his enormously resonant documentary that aired on NPR&#8217;s <i>Fresh Air</i> in 1998, Sandy Tolan brings the Israeli-Palestinian conflict down to its most human level, suggesting that even amid the bleakest political realities there exist stories of hope and reconciliation. </div></div> 2961667 2006 The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East total:738|5:293|4:278|3:125|2:36|1:6| 738 3030 1499 260 151740 1596913436 9781596913431 676 238 4.11 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172236317m/151740.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/151740.The_Lemon_Tree_An_Arab_a_Jew_and_the_Heart_of_the_Middle_East 5 2 false Tue Jul 10 18:47:03 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 15 18:56:30 -0700 2007
