The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan
In 1967, Bashir Khairi, a twenty-five-year-old Palestinian, journeyed to Israel with the goal of seeing the beloved stone house with the lemon tree behind it that he and his family had fled nineteen years earlier. To his surprise, when he found the house he was greeted by Dalia Eshkenazi Landau, a nineteen-year-old Israeli college student, whose family left 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 half century in ways that neither could imagine on that summer day in 1967. Sandy Tolan brings the Israeli-Palestinian conflict down to its most human level, demonstrating that even amid the bleakest political realities there exist stories of hope and transformation.Sandy Tolan's books include Me and Hank and Children of the Stone. Tolan has produced hundreds of radio documentaries for NPR and PRI as a cofounder of Homelands Productions. He's also contributed to over 40 journals and newspapers. His work has garnered numerous accolades, and he was a Harvard University Nieman Fellow in 1993 and an I.
