Reader Reviews:
An insight into a terrible situation (0/0 people found this helpful)
Somehow this book communicates the situation in the middle east to a level that TV news cannot quite achieve
This is Tom's mother's personal account of her time in Israel to try and find out what happened to her son. It is moving throughout. Some of the things that are happening there defy belief. What drives a soldier to shoot at an innocent child?
It is well written and a book that stays with you. Tom Hurndall was a remarkable man, and I wholly recommend you to read this book to understand why
Amazing, touching (5/5 people found this helpful)
This book really touched me. It moved me to tears in several parts. I didn't know about Tom's death until about a year later but have followed the news since then. I'm so pleased to be able to read now about the feelings and emotions that his mother has gone through since it happened.
