"Judith is a young woman who lived in Israel for a decade, was a peace activist there, and defines herself as "left-wing", yet in graduate school back in Canada, she discovers that vilification of Israel is the expected norm [...] This is a novel about love, betrayal, and the courage to stand up for what one believes, as well as a searing indictment of the hypocrisy and intellectual sloth that threatens the integrity of our society"--Back cover.
