Before We Say Goodbye
(Jerusalem, 2002. Where one young Palestinian is about to ...)
Jerusalem, 2002. Where one young Palestinian is about to make the greatest sacrifice of all...In the style of the acclaimed TV drama 24, each chapter covers an hour in the day leading up to the suicide bombing. Written in filmic, dramatic language, this is both pacy and thought-provoking and will appeal to young adults and adults alike. It is endorsed by Amnesty International UK as contributing to a better understanding of human rights and the values that underpin them.

Edit ProfileCareer
Her essays Siamo Quel che Diciamo ("We are what we say") and Le Nuove Terre della Pubblicita ("The New Advertising Land") are required advertising texts in several universities in Italy. Her first novel, Prima di Lasciarsi ("Before We Say Goodbye"), related to a suicide bombing in Jerusalem, has been translated into several languages including Hebrew and Arabic. In 1992 she co-founded the advertising agency Department of Administration and Management, now YesIAm, which has received international awards for its creative output.
Prima di Lasciarsi (Before We Say Goodbye), her first novel, is based on the true story of the Kiryat HaYovel supermarket bombing in Jerusalem, committed by Ayat al-Akhras, a seventeen-year-old Palestinian girl from the Dheisheh refugee camp.
The book narrates the final hours in the lives of the bomber and her victims – a seventeen-year-old girl from Jerusalem and the security guard whose intervention saved the lives of the rest of the people at the busy market on that Passover Eve. The story begins at seven o"clock in the morning on the day of the attack and ends with the horrifying explosion.
Despite the very short time span – seven hours – seen from the points of view of the different characters, the book tries to portray the complex reality between Israel and Palestine. The book was published in Italy in 2004 by Nutrimenti Publishers and was awarded at the Festival du Premier Romance in Chambéry, France.
In 2008 the book"s publication in both in Arabic and Hebrew was sponsored by Amnesty International and employed by Israeli colleges and human rights organizations working in Israel and the Palestinian Territories as an educational tool.
lieutenant has been published in the United Kingdom, Australia, and in New Zealand by Walker Books, in France as Deuze Heures Avant ("12 Hours before"") "(Gallimard), by Fischer Verlag in Germany as Der Himmel uber Jerusalem "The sky above Jerusalem"), as well as in Spain, Turkey, Greece, South of Korea and China. lieutenant is studied as an example of Human rights literature in universities in United Kingdom and Canada.
