Description: "An orphaned child of privilege, Peter enjoys a snug L.A. existance full of thing -- to eat, to wear, and to play with. But his world is rocked when he meets a yound Palestinian woman, Reham, who claims to be Peter's half-sister. DeShell's excessive, digressive opera of objects follows these two to Istanbul, Jerusalem, and Gaza City, teetering on the razor's edge between obsession and rejection, fascination and disgust."--Publisher's website.
