More Than 100 Unforgettable Dishes Updated for Today’s Kitchen

​

On a dusty road on the outskirts of Jerusalem, a bus suddenly explodes in a hail of fire, flesh and metal. This act of violence triggers both physical and emotional upheaval in the lives of people it touches from the victims to the suicide bombers and their families. Pnina Kass delivers an even-handed and sobering portrayal of the complex world her characters inhabit. Frighteningly real, this novel could be the back story behind tomorrow’s news.
