Two activists: one Palestinian, one Israeli. A unique friendship and a life-changing journey across the holy land.

Told my boss before I went away that I'd do a Merry Christmas post and a Happy New Year post on our social media, absolutely forgot about it, so can you all be my alibi and say I did it if they ask? Please and thank you

A reminder: books are very easy to wrap (and you can, controversially, sneak a wee taste as you wrap and nobody will know - unlike taking a bit of their cheese).
What a brilliant book about two artists I knew nothing about. These two men felt so real to me and I’m so pleased that Damian Barr brought them to life again and told their story.

Day 9 of Bertvent done!
