Edges

About this item

"EDGES is an elegantly written, quite moving novel that has a lot to say about love, identity, history and the meaning of nationality. The book is worth reading alone for its superb language, but it is gripping and unforgettable as well in its story telling and evocation of place and emotions. It is a wonderful novel by an author with a quite accomplished voice and style, one well deserving a wide and receptive audience." – Oscar Hijuelos, author of the Pulitzer-prize winning novel, THE MAMBO KING SINGS SONGS OF LOVE "EDGES is a dark and penetrating look at pre-1967 Israel and Palestine through the eyes of a 14 year old...well-written, powerful in both imagery and subject matter." –Jewish Book World "The author's vivid sense of landscape, her gift for identifying with both mother and daughter, Arab and Jew, gives the novel a unique sense of balance and brings the reader, regardless of political conviction into sympathy with this portrait of a vanished Jerusalem." – Mark Mirsky
