Query: Edges O Israel O Palestine

I was really looking forward to reading this book. The descriptions were so favorable, well I was terrably disappointed. First it didn't deliver even on the story line, much less the editorial reviews. If she had put as much effort into developing her characters as she did in describing noxious smells, and depressing landscapes it might have been a better story. At the end I didn't feel like I really knew any of the characters, and really disliked several. The first chapter starts out very slow with unending descriptions of the plane, her mother, clouds, etc. I should have put it down then. There are so many great books (fiction and nonfiction) about the early years of Israel you shouldn't waste your time on this one. If I could have given it less then 1 star I would have.
