KINGDOM OF OLIVES AND ASH Writers Confront the Occupation

This audiobook tackles one of the most controversial issues in world politics today: the fight between Israelis and Palestinians over disputed lands in the Middle East. It's a serious book with heated opinions that fill the pages with proposed solutions that, at this time, remain unfulfilled. Fred Sanders and Gabra Zackman share the narration, and both do a terrific job. Sanders uses his deep voice to create an emotional connection with the listener and pauses effectively to create tension and suspense. Zackman also captures the central emotions inherent in the work, and her placid but insistently strong voice grabs attention and demands that listeners reflect seriously on the author's ideas. The result is an audiobook that will continue the debate, with common people, not politicians, at the forefront. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2017]
