Lori Elliott's Reviews > Mornings in Jenin

I have to admit my ignorance in the continuing turmoil between Israel and Palestine. It seems that it is a conflict that has been going on forever and that many people in the States are at a lose to understand... so we watch the news call them all crazy then go about our live. This novel opened my eyes to this situation and made me sad, but most of all it made me angry. Angry that in a world of mass media and all the technological advances we possess that these atrocities are still going on in many parts of the world. I do understand that this novel is biased in its storytelling but even if only parts of these events are true it's too many. This novel is the perfect example of how fiction has the power to change/inform us and that's why novels like this should be read. I sincerely sympathize and ache for all of the innocent victims of this conflict... A must read.
