Reviews
'A wonderfully intimate account, which reminds us that the path to peace passes through the gate of personal narrative. We need not agree with Bird's analysis to be moved by his story and allow it to help us walk through that gate.' —Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, author ofYou Don't Have To Be Wrong for Me To Be Right, 'A compelling hybrid of memoir and history? kaleidoscopic and captivating.'—Publishers Weekly(starred review), "Bird's acute and engaging memoir is a mournful recollection of a time when the single issue of Arab and Israeli, Muslim and Jew, was not the monotonously dominant theme that it has since become'. He is adroit, modest, ironic, and amusing? Bird puts me somewhat in mind of Edward Said's memoir,Out of Place."—Christopher Hitchens,The Atlantic, 'Kai Bird has stepped back from the dreaded Middle Eastern present to create a spellbinding portrait of an earlier time. He grew up on the seam between Arabs and Israelis, an American in the heyday of American innocence and power. He has not adorned that past, for he was there when the region's current ordeal was hatched, but he has given a bittersweet rendition of a world now irretrievably gone. A beautiful memoir, and a supremely honest one.' —Professor Fouad Ajami, The School of Advanced International Studies, The Johns Hopkins University, "I was entranced by this book from the first page to the last, and can recommend it with enthusiasm."-- Sir Martin Gilbert, official biographer of Winston Churchill and author ofIsrael: A HistoryandJerusalem in the Twentieth Century, "Kai Bird has done the impossible, and written a wholly original book challenging both the conventional and unconventional wisdom about Israel, the Jews and the Middle East." -- Victor S. Navasky, author ofNaming Names

    A MUST for Every Grandmother

    This book is physically lovely, setting the perfect tone for the narrator, a grandchild, to mention all the magical, mystical, wondrous things she was taught by her grandmother. Some of them are obvious, but their treatment is never mundane. Others took my breath away. "Yes!" I thought, "This is what I want my grandchildren to be able to say when they're all grown up." Grams, you might keep a copy for nudging and inspiration in those times when the going is rough for whatever reason. But maybe around age 10 or 12, depending on the maturity of your grandchild, it's time for them to have a copy of their own. I literally stumbled upon this book and was struck by the title; I can't imagine having never discovered it. I've already bought addition alseveral copies to give to friends who are as ...
