What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Letters From Captivity : The Israeli Pilot and his Wife?
This book is actually an epistolary novel. Using the authentic letters exchanged between Rami and myself while he was in captivity in Egypt. Throughout the years of Rami’s captivity – on both sides of the Sinai Desert – Rami and I went through many upheavals, happy moments vying with dispiriting disasters, hope mingling with despair. The story of our lives during that time – together and separately – is the inspiration behind this book. We decided that publishing our story could give hope to other people.
