Summary

[edit]

A Month by the Sea describes Murphy's stay in Palestine during Operation Cast Lead.[4][5][6] She met liberals and Islamists, Hamas and Fatah supporters. A second book followed – Between River and Sea – but she destroyed the material for a third book based on visits to the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan for fear that it might endanger their lives.[7]
