The story starts within an Israeli military prison, where - four days and nights after his 19th birthday - Jonathan stares up at the fluorescent signals of his cell, and recalls the group of incidents that led him there. Two years earlier: Moving back to Israel after several years in Pa, Jonathan is ready to fight to preserve and defend the Jewish express, which his grandfather - a Salonican Jew whose community was destroyed by the Nazis - helped build. But he's also conflicted about the possibility of experiencing to keep an eye on the occupied Palestinian territories, a concern that grows deeper plus more urgent when he satisfies Nimreen and Laith - the twin child and kid of his mother's friend. From that morning on, the three become inseparable: wandering the avenues on weekends, piling onto buses toward new discoveries, laughing uncontrollably. They promote bones on the beach, trading snippets of poems, seductive secrets, family histories, resentments, and dreams. With his draft date rapidly getting close to, Jonathan wrestles with the question of what this means to be pleased with your history and loyal to your people, while also sensing love for those outside of your own tribal family. And then that fateful day occurs, the one that lands Jonathan in prison and changes his romance with the twins forever.
