While reliving these unforgettable experiences, through his writing he struggles to find why the wall between these two groups of people exists. He relates his encounters with organizations that are determinedly working to sow the seeds of peace in soils that are deeply scarred by suffering and war. In these honest and evocative reflections, Small retells his experiences of crossing into the West Bank to work the olive harvest with Palestinian farmers. While there, he discovered beauty, fear and suffering like nowhere else in the world. Writer Matthew Small traveled to the Holy Land to further his understanding of the enduring conflict between Israel and Palestine.
“The biology of Israel/Palestine simply and beautifully revealed,” from the author of Down and Out Today: Notes from the Gutter (Jon Snow, journalist and presenter).
