Ever since Romeo and Juliet our most enduring stories are told of lovers who courageously cross that forbidden line drawn between them by family, culture and religion. Two lovers, one Israeli, one Arab, caught amidst the beginnings of the Palestinian uprising—the Intifada, struggling to understand new feelings during the most turbulent of times. Rainbows is a special story that recognizes love, a human virtue based on compassion, affection and kindness, knows no walls of separation—political, cultural, religious, tribal. And when the last word is read, you’ll keep rereading the final pages, unable to part with the tale of lovers that has opened your heart to a new sense of common humanity.
