How did Irith and Jamal scale through these huddles? I want to know. This book has an exciting plot.

Your review is excellent. Territorial and sovereignty disputes between Israel and Palestine are still ongoing today. This book tells of the friendship between two Israeli and Palestinian students who want to unite their differences through music. I think this story is very inspiring and encourages everyone to create peace.

Seems a very interesting book to read that inspires the readers that peace is still a possibility in the midst of political turmoil and wars. I particularly like the idea of the teachers to unite two conflicting groups thru music.I admire the friendship between Irith and Jamal.Congrats BOTD!

I think Irith and Jamal's story is an interesting one. I am also interested in learning more about that region of the world. I'd like to see whether the boiling tension eventually dissipates and if both sides(the Palestinians and Israelis) will learn to treat each other with respect in this book.

Trying to create peace through music is very wonderful creativity. Music can't become real if the singers are not united themselves. This seems like it is going to be interesting. Nice review

Irith was from Israel and Jamal was from Palestine. They came together because of music and want to bring their people together through the same means. But political tension threatens their dreams. Would their dream ever come true? Congratulations on BOTD!

I love reading historical fiction which has a forbidden kind of romance in it. I always enjoy reading books that are set in Middle East. This book seems so intriguing to me, I can't wait to read it. Thank you for your amazing review.

This is an interesting read. I don't know much about the war between Palestine and Israel. So, maybe this one would make me understand the conflict a little more.

This book about historical fiction is very interesting. A story of peace between Israel and Palestinians. Irith and Jamal also want peace in their country and would do everything. This book review is great and interesting too. Thanks for sharing. Hope these two will find happiness and will succeed in their goals. Congratulations!

Modern-day issues as a novel can be very interesting as it will teach possible solutions to these issues and entertain at the same time. Israeli-Palestinian friction has gone on too long. I wish the idea in this book is applicable.
