Love Behind Enemy Lines

De: Jeanette Anderson

Narrado por: Therese Plummer, Gabriel Vaughan

Before the security fence divided them and suicide bombers and airstrikes destroyed their lives, Palestinian Jannah al-Jarbouni and Israeli Efron Oved were friends.

After years of separation, Efron, now 22 and an Israeli soldier, finds Jannah being transported from an Israeli jail. He reaches out to win her trust, but with every fiber of Jannah's soul, down to the marrow aching in her bones, she has vowed that the Israelis will pay for killing her family.

When Jannah must decide whether to get medical aid for Efron to save his life or turn him in for a prisoner exchange, which will inevitably include torture, they become trapped indoors. The one-time friends struggle with how they will survive amid spies, murders, and kidnappings and ultimately rise above the lies and betrayal to find peace.

A Palestinian bomber, suicide recruiter, and terrorist may hold the secret to freeing Jannah from her dark abyss of revenge. But that revelation will force her to choose between letting the man live who massacred her family and dying herself.

Captivating story that kept me at the edge of my seat!

Wow! My new favorite romance-thriller book. I feel like I was there with the characters, experiencing both their happiness and the depths of their sorrows. Normally, I’m more apprehensive reading about the Middle East because I feel overwhelmed with my lack of knowledge about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. But because of the author’s rich storytelling and characters, I gained a solid understanding of the risks and dangers these people face daily, and I felt quite empathetic toward these people. The stakes were high and I just HAD to know what was going to happen to Jannah and Enron! Completely exceeded all my expectations!

Couldn't stop listening.

What a wonderful and gut wrenching story. This book is so well researched and the story is captivating, I feel like I lived it. I loved how the book ends in a heart warming beginning.

Emotional read

An emotional read ,so much to absorb. Highly recommended. A story about real people in a part of the world i know little about. An eye opener indeed

I'm listening to it for a second time!

I was drawn immediately into Jeanette's story. I listened straight through. I appreciated how she used her research and knowledge of middle eastern culture and conflict to show the reader daily life in this troubled area of the world. The story is beautifully written with many surprises and poetry using the unique and dramatic Palestinian style. The ending was also surprising and satisfying. The two narrators added another layer of intrigue that not only entertained, I also appreciated their correct pronunciations of names, Hebrew and Arabic. I cant wait for Jeanette's next book.
