Beschreibung
Bombed and cut off from the rest of the world, life on the Gaza Strip has long ben beset with difficulties. In 2011 intrepid Irish traveller Dervla Murphy decided to see things for herself. The eighty-year-old grandmother spent a month by the sea, walking, talking and listening her way to an understanding of this unique society, which is reviled by a quarter of the world and ignored by the rest. She discovered a community bursting with political engagement and resilience, yet underwritten by an intense enjoyment of family life.
The ironies of Western and Israeli attitudes to the Strip are ever present, not least the way in which violent attempts to eradicate terrorism breathe life into the very monster they aspire to destroy. Yet underlying the book is Dervla's determination to try to understand how Arab Palestinians and Israeli Jews might forge a solution and ultimately live in peace.
