Girls on the wall

Unlike many stories set during war, Girls on the Wall contains no violence – reading almost like a play or the script behind the film Golda. It ends just as the October 7th attack begins, preserving the dignity of the fallen and the moral gravity of the moment.The story is told in a quiet style and follows a group of nine young female soldiers monitoring Israel’s southern border. Through subtle foreshadowing, sharp character sketches, and a reflective tone, the book portrays a world where these girls issued countless warnings that were constantly ignored by authority figures. Their courage went unrewarded and by morning the country asked, how could this have happened.
