520 _a"Amiry describes the agony of falling in love when you live in a country with a Byzantine system of Israeli permits, passes and checkpoints, and the sheer difficulty for Palestinians of moving from one place to another in this tiny country. She writes about the impossibility of acquiring gas masks from the Israeli Civil Administration during the first Gulf War of 1991, about her dog Nura acquiring a Jerusalem passport when thousands of Palestinians have failed to do so, about the challenges of shopping during breaks in the curfew and about the effects of Israel's 'separation wall'. She tells us about the life and gossip of her neighbourhood in Ramallah, her moving family history and the struggle to live a normal life in a insane situation."-- Provided by the publisher.
