This provocative memoir chronicles Garfinkel`s travels in Israel & Palestine & his journey away from a Zionist education in Toronto. After a screening of a Palestinian film, he meets a Palestinian woman who tells him about a house in Israel occupied by an Arab & a Jew. The story compels him to travel to Israel & the West Bank in search of the house with the hopes of discovering a truer sense of life in the Middle East.
