Coming Of Age in the Israeli Army


Shani Boianjiu’s searing debut novel, The People of Forever Are Not Afraid, tells the story of three young women coming of age in the military.  Yael, Avishag, and Lea grow up together in a small Israeli village.  When they are conscripted into the army, their lives change in unpredictable ways which influences both the women they become and the friendships they sustain.  Intense and full of caustic humor, The People of Forever Are Not Afraid offers a unique picture of military life in the Middle East.
