This was a book club book
I am left with many mixed feelings about it. The organization and format is absolutely horrid! The story itself had to be sifted and filtered out through the many mini-thoughts/explanations/inserts. It's about two men who each lost a daughter to violence in Israel/Palestine (10 years apart), and they each had to find a way to both deal with it and help heal the entire situation for themselves and others.
The methods of dealing are admirable, but the overall thing – both grief and the entire situation – is miserable.
I know that the overall rating of this book is pretty good, and there were even to members of our book club who really liked it, but the rest of us found the torment and organization too distracting at best.
