520    A novel of great humanity, compassion, and astonishing 
       immediacy, this inventive and unique debut captures the 
       emotional reality of contemporary life in the West Bank 
       and the irreconcilable Israeli-Palestinian conflict 
       through a collage of narrative voices and different 
       viewpoints centered on a particular set of events. Brave 
       and bold, this gorgeously written novel introduces a large
       cast of characters from various backgrounds in a setting 
       where violence is routine and where survival is defined by
       boundaries, walls, and checkpoints that force people to 
       live and love within and across them. Hamid, a college 
       student, has entered Israeli territory illegally for work.
       Rushing past soldiers, he bumps into Vera, a German 
       journalist headed to Jerusalem to cover the story of Salem,
       a Palestinian boy beaten into a coma by a group of revenge
       -seeking Israeli teenagers. On her way to the hospital, 
       Vera runs in front of a car that barely avoids hitting 
       her. The driver is Ido, a new father traveling with his 
       American wife and their baby. Ido is distracted by 
       thoughts of a young Jewish girl murdered by a terrorist 
       who infiltrated her settlement. Ori, a nineteen-year-old 
       soldier from a nearby settlement, is guarding the 
       checkpoint between Bethlehem and Jerusalem through which 
       Samar-Hamid's professor-must pass. These multiple strands 
       open this magnificent and haunting novel of present-day 
       Israel and Palestine, following each of these diverse 
       characters as they try to protect what they love. Their 
       interwoven stories reveal complicated, painful truths 
       about life in this conflicted land steeped in hope, love, 
       hatred, terror, and blood on both sides. City of a 
       Thousand Gates brilliantly evokes the universal drives 
       that motivate these individuals to think and act as they 
       do-desires for security, for freedom, for dignity, for the
       future of one's children, for land that each of us, no 
       matter who or where we are, recognize and share.
