HOW TO UNDERSTAND ISRAEL is Sarah's memoir not only of her Israeli governmentsponsored trip through Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Masada and other famous locations, but of the emotional journey she never expected to take while she was there. Her experience clashes with her preconceived notions again and again, particularly when she tries to take a non-chaperoned trip into the West Bank. Sarah is forced to question fi rst her political beliefs and, ultimately, her own sense of identity, until she fi nds that to understand Israel she fi rst must come to understand herself.

Add a CommentI was disappointed in this book because I read it based on some good reviews that it received. The artwork is mediocre and often just too awkward to be appealing. I didn't like looking at the drawing. If it all was on the level of the cover it would have been great but it rarely is. The story, too, is not particularly engaging. The artist takes her readers on her journey to learn about Israel. In the end we come away with a little better understanding of the country but no clear answers to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I understand that might be too much to expect but I don't think it's too much to expect at least an emotional journey. In my opinion, the book didn't deliver that, either.
