"Where the Streets Had a Name" | 60second Book Review
Transcription
This week's Pick is: A little controversial. Somewhat challenging. And definitely eye-opening. We'll talk more about Where the Streets Had a Name right after this. In this story about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, 13-year-old Hayaat lives with her family in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. They face curfews and Israeli soldiers—and the pain of having lost their land to people whose perspective they try to understand, but cannot. Hayaat, however, faces a more immediate pain—the pain of nearly losing her beloved grandmother. Convinced she must do something to help, Hayaat sets out on a dangerous journey to Jerusalem, where she hopes to gather some soil from her grandmother's ancestral home. But even though Jerusalem is only a few miles away, for a Palestinian like Hayaat, it might as well be across an ocean. She'll have to face many demons—her own, and some outside her—if she wants to complete her trek. One thing this book is not is propaganda for one side (or the other) of the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians. Yes, it does present the issue from a Palestinian viewpoint. But the author goes to great lengths to put the conflict in human, instead of political, terms. Above all, this is a story about the power of love to comfort us in the face of loss.
