Blood Brothers is set in Palestine after WWII. Socially, it was a land of chaos and terror, as the Palestinians and Jew were adapting to sharing the same space. In this instance, religion dictates. Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are obviously very different, the ways in which they practice religion are also very different. Enemies are now neighbors. This novel, written by Elias Chacour, focuses on reconciliation, peace, and living together.
