Here’s a novel that was banned from Israeli High Schools because it is about a relationship between a Jewish Israeli woman and a Palestinian man. But don’t let that stop you from reading this modern-day Romeo and Juliette story. Read why this book is forcing me to update my “best of 2017” list, in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/12/25/border-life/

This book was GREAT! A difficult read due to the fact that it dealt with the roundup of Jewish families in Paris in 1942, and particularly the story of Sarah. There was also a parallel story with Julia as a journalist writing a story about the roundup. She becomes embroiled in Sarah's story and it affects her life in ways she didn't anticipate. I highly recommend this book.
