This was a brilliant book. I really enjoyed reading it and finished it in one day. This book is packed full of brilliant culture. At times I felt like I was reading a true story or at least based on true events father than a work if fiction. It felt so realistic and believable. What ibloved the most about this book was the story the author created it felt well balanced and very well wrote and it followed so well. The first part of this book was a fantastic love story between a Muslim woman and a Jewish man . It was lovely but had some rather shocking events and heartbreaking. I was so emotionally involved in this story then the second half talks about what life was like at a concentration camp. The book was very interesting, exciting and emotional. The characters were very realistic and easy to love. The storyline was a emotional roller coaster ride. I really can't recommend this book enough it was so close to the 5 star rating. I love reading indie books like this one as this book is a hidden gem. This book really need to be shared as if this book had a big publishers it would be a best seller. If you love a story that is thrilling, full of culture which is very eye opening. Then this book is definitely for you. 

So much praise goes out to the author and publishing team for bringing us this fantastic book. Its a brilliant genre hybrid book. I hope this author writes more books as he is definitely and author to watch out for.

For readers of Holocaust accounts and fiction, this is a further step well worth taking in learning more about Jewish history and experience. I found myself compelled to look for more information about Palestine and the experience of the various stakeholders over time. Deeply moving, often confronting and always thought provoking, this is a must read.

Princess Fuzzypants here: Wall Of Tears is a compelling and compassionate tale of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. It is not an easy read and can incite powerful emotions as it follows Uri, his family and his friends, who include many Palestinians. It looks at the roots of the conflict from both sides. The Jews, many Holocaust survivors, do not lose the confines of the prisons from which they came. The prison now is the threat of annihilation that has been a constant since day 1. It also looks at the people who were displaced and often treated with contempt and cruelty.
It shows that if people have the will to live together in peace, it is possible. But it is a choice.

Sadly, it is a choice that has been hijacked far too often by evil people who are determined to destroy the other side. As the book says at the end, it is not a matter of finding a solution, it is a matter of embracing one. I can tell you that it has changed my perspective. I will never understand those who live by violence and destruction. While I can see the genesis of that frame of mind, it does not excuse it. They prey on those innocents who just try to live their lives as well as they can on both sides. Until their voices are the ones that are heard and make the decisions, things can change but not get better.

Powerful and heart-wrenching, the book allows the reader to get under the skin of the people who are involved. It exonerates no one but it does enlighten. Five purrs and two paws up.

This was an enjoyable, emotive and often heartwrenching read that I learnt a lot from. I know a lot about the holocaust but very little about the conflict spoke about in this book, however, it has picqued my interest and I will be reading up about it now. It is beautifully written with a gripping storyline and well developed characters that were relatable and believeable. This was a brutally real account of the conflict full of brutal tragedy but also love and heartwarming moments.
A really good read.
