Summary
Through Their Eyes: A Journey of Two Worlds tells the parallel stories of Ahmed and Yossi, two boys living just 41 miles apart but on opposite sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide. Ahmed, growing up in Gaza, faces the heavy burden of his father's legacy as a martyr and the societal pressures around him. In Tel Aviv, Yossi enjoys the freedom of city life, but the looming shadow of mandatory military service and the ever-present fear of conflict weighs heavily on his young shoulders. As they confront the stark realities of their worlds, both boys must navigate their identities and find resilience amidst unimaginable circumstances. Through alternating perspectives, this novel explores themes of hope, humanity, and the possibility of understanding in the face of war.
