- Summary
- "Different from any other writings on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Sharon and my Mother-in-Law describes Suad Amiry's experience of living on the West Bank from the early eighties to the present." "The book contains a diary Amiry kept during the Israeli invasion of Ramallah in March 2002, when her feisty 92-year-old mother-in-law came to live with her, and behaved as mother-in-laws do. We learn how daily chores such as buying food and visiting friends and relatives become Herculean tasks for anyone living in a state of siege."--Jacket.
