Not only is it really funny but it shows the kind of courage, vision, and humanity needed to bring peace to the Middle East.\" --Eve Ensler, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Vagina Monologues\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCapturing the frustrations, cabin fever, and downright misery of her experiences, Amiry writes with elegance and humor about the enormous difficulty of moving from one place to another, the torture of falling in love with someone from another town, the absurdity of her dog receiving a Jerusalem identity card when thousands of Palestinians could not, and the trials of having her ninety-two-year-old mother-in-law living in her house during a forty-two-day curfew. With a wickedly sharp ear for dialogue and a keen eye for detail, Amiry gives us an original, ironic, and firsthand glimpse into the absurdity--and agony--of life in the Occupied Territories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400096497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Suad Amiry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43972144627893,"sku":"9781400096497","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0e1f0aff-d420-4a56-be40-591045cf1e17.jpg?v=1713282172","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sharon-and-my-mother-in-law-ramallah-diaries-9781400096497","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
