Synopsis
This week Razia Iqbal talks to the Israeli writer David Grossman. His new book 'To The End of the Land' chronicles the life of Ora and her family as she tries to live in a country constantly riven by wars. Grossman has written about both Palestinians and Israelis living through the conflict in his essays but this is the first novel where he tackles head-on the impact of Arab-Israeli conflict on generations of ordinary lives.
