7th book - "Wandering Star" - J.M.G. Le Clezio - 6 points

Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio (*1940) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2008. He is French (& Mauritian) and lives with his wife in Albuquerque in New Mexico - USA, the island of Mauritius and Nice in France. --- The story is about 2 teenager girls, one Jewish and one Palestinian. It plays during and after WWII and gives you historical information about the founding of the State of Israel which is really interesting and of high value. It is sensitively written, but somehow I never felt to be involved in the story.
