Contents/Summary
- Summary
- In 1978, Yulie Cohen-Gerstel, an El-Al flight attendant, is wounded in a terrorist attack in London in which another young Israeli woman and two of the attackers are killed. The attack strengthens her patriotism and soon after she fulfills a childhood dream of becoming an officer in the Israeli air force. But in 2001, 23 years after she was attacked, her patriotism has now become a personal quest to break the cycle of hatred and fear. She begins a correspondence with the man who attacked her, still jailed inside an English prison. Farhad, it turns out, is a sensitive and intelligent man, remorseful of his past actions and seeking to make amends. Yulie becomes an advocate for his release. But with the Intifada raging again, fear is a constant in Israeli life, and public pressure against those advocating a peaceful solution are on the rise. A moving and personal account of one woman’s struggle to step outside the cycle of retribution, to understand, to forgive, and to make peace.
