Ebook: Meet Me in Gaza: Uncommon Stories of Life Inside the Strip

How do people and goods get in and out of Gaza? Do Gazans ever have fun? Is the Strip beautiful? And do TV reports actually reflect ordinary life inside the world's largest open-air prison? Meet Me in Gaza reveals the pleasures and pains, hopes and frustrations of Gazans going about their daily lives, witnessed and recounted by award-winning writer Louisa Waugh. Interspersed with fascinating historical, cultural and geographical detail, this is an evocative portrait of a Mediterranean land and its people.

Waugh was born in Berlin and grew up in Liverpool. She didn't go to university; instead, she spent several years working with young homeless people before moving to Mongolia where she wrote for the Guardian, the Independent, the New Internationalist magazine, and was a regular BBC World Service contributor.
