Martyrs' Crossing A Novel

"From the beautifully shaded opening scene in which a Palestinian mother tries to get her gravely ill child across an Israeli checkpoint, MARTYR'S CROSSING unravels like a series of snapshots of interior life under great personal discord. Wilentz animates small, resonant moments....At the end..., it's a potentially predictable move to have the characters end up in the hands of their perceived enemy. But in Wilentz's masterful deployment of multiple characters tumbling toward a thrilling finale, their individual fates manage to seem like mere coincidences of geography."Wilentz, Amy is the author of 'Martyrs' Crossing A Novel', published 2002 under ISBN 9780345449832 and ISBN 0345449835.
