I was intrigued by the small write up of this book. "[In] the 1940s, and relations between Arabs and Jews are tense. Before long, those tensions come to a breaking point. Natalia mysteriously disappears, and Rasheed and Rasheeda are chased out of Palestine to Beirut, Lebanon."
But chapter two was not at all what I expected. A Jesuit priest teaching and showing a Muslim man how to make love to a woman - in detail mind you - how that will move the story along; I don't know. Perhaps when one reads the whole book, it will become relevant.
Being Rasheed is Muslim and Natalia is Jewish, I still would like to know how it plays out. The writing leads me to believe that there will be quite an internal struggle between the two religions, as well as contention with outside forces.
Should be a wild ride.
