This is a story about a love triangle. The triangle plays out on several levels: the personal between the three people, but also the different cultures and religions-Jewish, Arab, Christian, and American. We experience foods and celebrations, families, humor, passion, and nostalgia.The narrator is Sameer, part of the triangle with Sam and Meriam. There is a view into dreams, memories, men and women, and human vulnerability."Every time we sit together, we face two we love.""Meriam cheerfully announces in the presence of Sam, 'Sameer, there is a poetry reading tonight. You should join us.' Meriam weaves a hundred golden strings around our days."The novel explores relationships, conflicts, and histories-what if we could understand each other on a personal level? The style is prose and dialogue, almost lyrical. Very smooth reading and fast paced. This is "a story for the senses," and has universal messages that appeal to both men and women, from age 17 to 85.
