When he arrived, he was greeted by one of its new residents: Dalia Eshkenazi Landau, a nineteen-year-old Israeli college student whose family had fled Europe following the Holocaust. She had lived in that house since she was eleven months old. On the stoop of this shared house, Dalia and Bashir began a surprising friendship, forged in the aftermath of war and later tested as political tensions ran high and Israelis and Palestinians each asserted their own right to live on this land. Adapted from the award-winning adult book and based on Sandy Tolan's extensive research and reporting, The Lemon Tree is a deeply personal story of two people seeking hope, transformation, and home. Review: Good book - Excellent book. Amazing recount of everything that went on and is still going on in Israel. Well written for adults as well Review: Interesting read - Interesting read. Especially during this turbulent time. It points out the many sides to a single issue. Definitely worth reading. I found it a bit dragging…..but maybe it was just the heaviness of the topic. I’m glad I bought the young adult version. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #103,431 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Children's Judaism Books (Books) #9 in Children's Islam Books (Books) #10 in Children's Middle Eastern History | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 77 Reviews | ## Images ![The Lemon Tree (Young Readers' Edition): An Arab, A Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719g+RSGDRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by A***R on September 3, 2021* Excellent book.

Each time, I learn more truth about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While this review will not share my thoughts on the conflict (considering there are similar conflicts here in America), I will share that this book caused me to re-think my thoughts and positions. Fortunately for me, I have been able to hear various perspectives over the states of Israel/Palestine, the West Bank, Gaza, and much of the conflict in the Middle East, This book has really shifted my perception. Going into this book, I was not expecting this to be a book that challenges my thinking, follows the story of two families, and tell of their history over decades of time. Granted, the synopsis provides a hint of that, but this was not what I was expecting in the best way possible. The Lemon Tree provides the bond/connection of the Khairi's and Eshkenazi's. This is a significant/important read for many. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Lemon Tree (Young Readers' Edition): An Arab, A Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East - The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East - Hope Is Our Only Wing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/211160524-the-lemon-tree-young-readers-edition-an-arab-a-jew](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/211160524-the-lemon-tree-young-readers-edition-an-arab-a-jew) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
