An Afternoon with Mya Guarnieri and Ilene Prusher
Oct 12, 2025
Starting: 5:00 PM
A conversation at Books & Books in Coral Gables explores love, identity and conflict through a memoir set between Israel and Palestine.
An Afternoon with Mya Guarnieri and Ilene Prusher takes place Sunday, October 12. Guarnieri will discuss her book Crossing the Line: An Israeli-Palestinian Love Story, which recounts her relationship with a Palestinian journalist against the backdrop of political and cultural barriers. The memoir blends personal narrative with observations of daily life in the West Bank, reflecting on both the challenges and possibilities of connection across divides.
Guarnieri, an award-winning journalist and contributor to The New York Times, will be joined in conversation by Ilene Prusher, a veteran foreign correspondent who has reported widely on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Admission is free, and books will be available for purchase.
