Sadness is a White Bird examines both sides of the Israeli Palestinian conflict through the eyes of a young American Israeli man, Jonathan. Born in Israel but raised in the United States, his family returns to Israel to be with his ailing grandfather while Jonathan completes high school and joins the army. While a student, he becomes close with the twin son and daughter of his motherçs Palastinian friend.
The story opens with Jonathan in a military jail….what brought him to this situation? Well written and lyrical, this is a story of friendship, allegiance and duty. The ending may be a bit unsatisfying to some, but I think it apt for the historical and political context of this conflict.
This book will make you think, feel, and want to discuss.
