Diane Armstrong’s newest book is as romantic as it is thrilling. Set in the Middle East during World War I and based on a true story, The Wild Date Palm will leave you feeling inspired, and hopefully a little courageous, too.
The story follows Shoshana Adelstein, who witnesses the atrocities of the Armenian genocide while on a train journey across the Anatolian Plain in 1915. She then forms an audacious plan with her charismatic lover.
