I say this from the point of view both of myself, who has visited Jenin, and from my sister, who lived in Jenin for three years, and my brother-in-law, who is a Palestinian refugee who has lived in Jenin nearly his entire life. All three of us loved it and thought it was very accurate.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-37004247565914899262012-04-03T04:24:20.637+01:002012-04-03T04:24:20.637+01:00Hey there,

If you can't travel for real, travel-by-book is the next best thing :)<br /><br />Istanbul is a place I've always wanted to go too. Also Budapest and Prague - don't they all sound so exciting and exotic?! I think reading Dracula and The Historian a few years ago put me in mind of those places.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-91724491847121701842012-03-28T20:18:24.749+01:002012-03-28T20:18:24.749+01:00Book buying can be a real pick-me-up.

When I armchair travel I like historical fiction - I like the perspective of all the tragedy and romance of the past. Then I can return to the present and, if things aren't much better at least they aren't exactly worse.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567954521782974033noreply@blogger.com
