At the age of nineteen, Noa Ben Artzi-Pelossof looks back on a life shaped by loss and by the conflicts that have marked Israel. She writes about a childhood that was shadowed by tragedy but sustained by her family, and about the fear that random bombings brought to the people she loved. She recalls the wars that touched her generation and the bitterness aimed at Israelis from outside and within. At the centre of the memoir are her memories of her grandfather, the soldier who became a peacemaker, and her reflections on the man who killed him and the extremism behind that violence.
