Summary
It's April 1948, and war hangs over Jaffa. One minute, seven-year-old Salim is dreaming of taking his first harvest from the family's orange tree; the next he is swept away into a life of exile and rage. Seeking a new beginning in swinging 60s London, Salim falls in love with Jude. The only problem? Jude is Jewish. Ishmael's Oranges follows the story of two families spanning the crossroad events of modern times, and of the legacy of hatred their children inherit.

I thought at times the feelings and attitudes both personally of the characters and the protagonist were sometimes harsh. But it was real, but at times a difficult read. As a Jew, who has lived in Israel, but has traveled throughout the Middle East and very knowledgeable in its history and politics. It was well done. Just difficult. The narrator was excellent.

Loved it. It’s left me feeling I have more insight into what is happening in Palestine.
