Yael, Avishag, and Lea grow up together in a tiny, dusty Israeli village, attending a high school made up of caravan classrooms, passing notes to each other to alleviate the universal boredom of teenage life. When they are conscripted into the army, their lives change in unpredictable ways, influencing the women they become and the friendship that they struggle to sustain. Yael trains marksmen and flirts with boys. Avishag stands guard, watching refugees throw themselves at barbed-wire fences.

Intriguing story, very flawed reader
Revisado: 12-31-13
This book is fascinating in many ways, as a way to experience an aspect of life in Israel I'd never heard before. But the mix of fantasy, dream, and reality was difficult to follow; it was primarily a collection of short stories with a lot of overlapping references. The poor reader compounded my confusion. She has a beautiful voice and fine diction, but was rarely able to properly emphasize words in sentences so that they made sense. Frequently she seemed not understand the sentences herself. So I found myself constantly restating the sentences to myself to rephrase them for meaning, thus missing the next sentence and having to repeat. A frustrating read!
