Jerusalem Confession
by (bangladesh) Lipika Perahan
About This Novel
This is a confession of life in a foreign land that explores acceptance in conflict and finds hope in despair. Lipika grew up in Bangladesh. Pellahan, with her British-Jewish husband Leo, moved into Jerusalem, a culturally rich and controversial sacred place. Facing the impact of the new environment, their marriage was once in jeopardy. Caught in the intractable "Israeli-Palestine conflict", Pellahan started from his personal experience, took his marriage as the axis, and then looked around, realizing the opposition and hatred, contradictions and misunderstandings of the local people; he recorded the conflict of cultures and the discord of life. The rootless soul is trying to find a home. In the interaction between the inner world and the external environment, although it is blurry, it is still trying to outline an image of reconciliation and hope in this complicated city.
