Not quite finished, but loving this. It is a good story of one woman's life in the Occupied Territories. She goes through all of the frustrations and facts about Occupation that other books I've read do, but she does it with a humor that none of the others really taps into. Maybe she and I just have more similar senses of humor- cynical, dry. I also admire how gutsy she is. She expresses her frustration with the Occupation in rather unique ways (as far as I know). I wish I could do what she does if I lived in that situation! She feels the humiliation of implicating her friends and colleagues in the act of knowing her, frustration of not being able to go where you want when you want, and the utter ridiculousness of some of the Israeli rules, but instead of being defeated she reacts boldly, challenging these things directly with humor and sarcasm. It's so great to see this kind of spirit (in print- I'm sure she's not the only one).
