New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, (1986) dj. Hardcover first edition - "A memoir of war and peace, passion and politics" - "Hazleton first went to Jerusalem at the age of 20, remained 13 years, then moved to New York City. Five years later, in 1984, she returned for what she intended would be a final breaking away, only to find herself drawn yet again to the much-changed city. Recalling the innocence of the past - her own and the city's - she writes vividly of the passions and wars that have wracked Jerusalem and all of Israel (the "'blood and racism and hatred'); the religious-secular clash for 'the soul of the city'; and the friendships and excitement that continue to attract her to this 'city of paradox'."
