Astazi a venit postasul cu doua pachete si ma uitam la el ceva de genu " Ce sa fac eu cu ele? " sau " De unde au mai aparut si astea? " si pana sa le deschid mi-a luat ceva sa realizez ca sunt cartile primite pentru recenzie. Sau ma rog, unsa e pentru recenzie, si cealalta pentru un viitor concurs.
Cartea se numeste The Almond Tree si este scirsa de Michelle Cohen Corasanti.
Despre carte:
Gifted with a mind that continues to impress the elders in his village, Ichmad Hamid struggles with the knowledge that he can do nothing to save his Palestinian friends and family. Ruled by the Israeli military government, the entire village operates in fear of losing homes, jobs, and belongings. But more importantly, they fear losing each other. On Ichmad's twelfth birthday, that fear becomes a reality. With his father imprisoned, his family's home and possessions confiscated, and his siblings quickly succumbing to the dangers of war, Ichmad begins the endless struggle to use his intellect to save his poor and dying family and reclaim a love for others that was lost when the bombs first hit."The Almond Tree" capitalizes on the reader's desire to be picked up and dropped off in another part of the world. It tackles issues that many Americans only hear about on World News or read about at The Huffington Post, such as the Israeli Palestinian conflict, the scholasticide that is being imposed upon the Palestinians in Gaza and the current Gaza blockade. But even more, it offers hope.
