About This Book
"Amid language barriers, household drama, homesickness, and a halting job search, Wendy Orange strives to settle her small family in Israel for the long term. Her sociability and interest in her surroundings fast connect her to a wide assortment of Israel's varied personalities: famous authors, obscure artists, politicians, psychologists, journalists, American-Israeli housewives, evangelical Christian teachers.".
"Crisscrossing from Israel to the territories, Orange confronts views of the world that are completely at odds and she experiences in a profound way the ancient conflicts as she becomes absorbed with people who are at polar extremes: peaceniks and settlers, the political elite and the downtrodden, high-profile intellectuals and young soldiers. She is drawn into subcultures that coexist, if barely, throughout Israel.
In Coming Home to Jerusalem, Wendy Orange brings to life the everyday in a country she tries to make her own."--BOOK JACKET.
