After Yair Berman left her and shattered all her dreams, the devastated Shlomtzion Drore escaped as far as possible from him and her intensely religious life in Jerusalem, becoming an interior designer in secular Tel-Aviv. Twenty-one years later, her daughter has become engaged to his son, and Shlomtzion is forced to visit the controversial settlement in which Yair lives, not only to plan the wedding but to confront her former love and the mistakes of her life. Set in Israel between the Six Day War and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, If You Awaken Love is the intensely moving story of a stormy and spiritual young girl and her love-hate relationships with her childhood sweetheart, with her father, and with God. Translated by David Hazony.

Seller's Description:
Very good. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 229 p. Audience: General/trade. First English Edition, translated to English by David Hazony. Paperback 229 pages, very good condition.
Written from an Orthodox Jewish view, book tries to compare a love story with the dispute between West Bank settlements and a 2-state solution in the Middle East. At times, the story represents fundamentalist beliefs in the settler's lives. I could never recommend this book to friends.
