Sulha by Malka Marom

Sulha means forgiveness in Hebrew. This book is about an Israeli women named Leora. Her first husband was killed in one of Israel's many wars. She then married Dave and moved to Canada. "Sulha" chronicles her return to Israel and her stay with a Beduin tribe. During this time she deals with many of her internal demons....even ones that she didn't realize she had. She also figures out how to offer a "sulha" to herself and those around her.

I started reading this book even before the latest Israeli/Lebanon confilct. It is a very interesting lesson in the interactions between different groups of people in the Middle East. I would recomend it though it is a bit of a slow read.
