An expat in Jerusalem
An interesting memoir
Summary
If Linda and her family had foreseen the challenges of relocating to Israel and Palestine,
they might have hesitated… They have no idea of the horrors in store. No idea that
murders will take place on their doorstep. No idea they’ll be so close to a fatal bombing,
or that they’ll adopt a dangerous dog. As they enjoy delicious local food and immerse
themselves in different cultures, will the unspoilt countryside and friendships help
them overcome the difficulties, or will they flee from an area which at times seems to
have one wall, but two prisons?
