Críticas

"'The writing is as poignant and layered as the subjects she writes about - and by detailing the ways history and culture play out in the day-to-day lives of the residents of one of the world's most contentious cities, she adds nuance and complexity to a much-studied subject' - Publishers Weekly; 'A gracefully wrought, impressionistic portrait of life in a singular Jerusalem neighbourhood. Steadily perceptive and brimming with informed passion, Hoffman's account opens the shades on one of the most remarkable cities on earth' - Krikus Reviews; 'Her sketches of daily life not only depict a changing community but also raise the issues of identity and exile. Jerusalem beyond the travelogues and the headlines' - Booklist"

Reseña del editor

'A gracefully wrought, impressionistic portrait of life in a singular Jerusalem neighbourhood. Steadily perceptive and brimming with informed passion, Hoffman's account opens the shades on one of the most remarkable cities on earth' - Kirkus Review A lyrical evocation of Jerusalem that by focusing in microcosmic detail on the day-to-day rhythms of this close-knit community offers a rich, precise, and refreshingly honest portrait of a city that is often reduced to generalisations and cliches.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
