The book that is going to be discussed this time is called The Lemon tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East by Sandy Tolan, it is non-fiction. This book is about seeing in human scale the tragic collision of the Israeli and Palestinian peoples, Tolan focuses on one small stone house in Ramla-- once an Arab community but now Jewish. Built in 1936 by an Arab family but acquired by a Jewish family after the Israelis captured the city in 1948, this simple stone house has anchored for decades the hopes of both its displaced former owners and its new Jewish occupants. With remarkable sensitivity to both families' grievances, Tolan chronicles the unlikely chain of events that in 1967 brought a long-dispossessed Palestinian son to the threshold of his former home, where he unexpectedly finds himself being welcomed by the daughter of Bulgarian Jewish Immigrants.
