Description
The Kites Are Flying! A powerful and moving tale of friendship and hope, set against the backdrop of conflict and division. Journalist Max travels to the West Bank to witness life under the shadow of a dividing wall, where he forms an unlikely bond with Said, a Palestinian boy who has lost his voice. As they sit together under an ancient olive tree, Said makes another kite, one that holds secrets and stories of the past. Through their friendship, Max begins to understand the tragic events that have shaped Said's life, and the reasons behind his silence. This beautifully told story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for hope and joy. Told from both Max's and Said's perspectives, this book is a heart-wrenching exploration of tragedy and resilience, with an ending that will leave you feeling uplifted.
