Anne Sinai told CA: "I wrote a novel on apartheid in South Africa and have just completed a novel on Israel's first citizens after the declaration of statehood. This could have some affinity with the West Bank's first citizens after the Palestinians' achievement of statehood. I have lived in five countries, and people everywhere inspire me."
