Liryczna i magnetyczna książka, bogata oraz intensywnie sugestywna, w której autor dzieli się swoją trwającą całe życie obsesją na punkcie jednego z najbardziej niezrozumianych miast na ziemi. To nie jest kolejna biografia, lecz ważna opowieść o ludzkich wątkach splatających się w tkaninie nowej Jerozolimy. Louisa Waugh, autorka Hearing Birds Fly, z dala od hałaśliwego tłumu zwiedzających, odnajduje to, co naprawdę stanowi jądro Jerozolimy – miasto przesiąknięte historią i skomplikowaną teraźniejszością. Matthew Teller przedstawia palestyńskie i żydowskie społeczności Starego Miasta, zwraca uwagę na indyjskie i afrykańskie wspólnoty, kulturę grecką, ormiańską i syryjską, a także ubogie rodziny romskie i mistyków sufickich. Omawia źródła świętości Jerozolimy oraz idee, które ukształtowały życie w jej murach. Oddaje głos ludziom związanym z tym miejscem, odkrywając głębię i kulturową różnorodność serca Jerozolimy. Teller zręcznie splata historię, politykę oraz doświadczenie, oferując wielowymiarowy klejnot, który rezonuje poza fizycznymi granicami miasta. Ta książka jest uniwersalna i intymna, zarazem przyjemna i przejmująca.
