ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East," by Sandy Tolan, is a non-fiction narrative that tells the intertwined stories of Dalia, an Israeli woman, and Bashir, a Palestinian man. The book begins in 1967 when Dalia, living in her family's home in Ramla, Israel, receives a visit from Bashir, the son of the Palestinian family who owned the home before their displacement in 1948. The lemon tree in the backyard becomes a powerful symbol of their shared history and the contested land. Through their personal stories, spanning decades of conflict, the reader gains insight into the human cost of war and the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian relationship. Tolan weaves together historical research, interviews, and personal reflections to explore themes of loss, displacement, identity, and the enduring search for peace in a region marked by deep divisions and enduring conflict.
