Summary
Tal is a young French woman who has settled in Jerusalem with her
family. She is 17 and has the reached the age of her first adult
experiences - her first love, her first cigarette, her first terrorist
attack. When a suicide bomber blows up a café near to
where she lives, she writes a letter to an imaginary Palestinian in
which she asks pointed questions and refuses to accept that Israel and
Palestine must go on being divided by hatred. She puts the letter
in a bottle and asks her brother to throw it into the sea, near to
Gaza. A few weeks later, Tal receives a reply from someone named
Gazaman...
