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 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.<\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Bloomsbury USA; First Edition (May 1, 2007) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 400 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1596913436 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1596913431 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 12 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.5 x 1.05 x 8.2 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the story fascinating and beautifully told.
