On the 2nd of October 2002, the Shapiro family's comfortable life in an Israeli suburb is shattered by a tragedy that sets each member on a journey of self-discovery. Easy-going Yigal, a corporal in the Israeli Defence Force, forms an unexpected alliance with Aisha, a fiery Palestinian teenager while Yigal's unquestioning mother, Ruth, reconnects with her estranged friend, Vivi, who passionately supports the Palestinian cause. David, Yigal's father, deepens his relationship with zealous settlers in the occupied West Bank and Orli, Yigal's younger sister, makes a decision about military service. Checkpoint is the story of ordinary people living in a conflict zone, each struggling to make sense of a situation where it's not clear who is the victim and who is the terrorist.

Lisa Saffron was born in 1952 in the United States and grew up in a non-religious, Zionist-sympathising Jewish family. She moved to England in her twenties where she raised her family and worked in parenting support, health research and feminist women's health information. She belongs to a progressive synagogue and hosts a weekly programme on Radio Salaam Shalom, an internet radio station promoting Jewish-Muslim dialogue. Lisa has travelled to Israel and the Occupied Territories several times since her first visit in 1968 (click here for a description of her 2002 trip). Her latest trip with the Compassionate Listening delegation was the inspiration for Checkpoint. This is her first novel. She has published non-fiction books and an autobiographical article, "The Mezuzah" in For Generations: Jewish Motherhood, edited by Mandy Ross and Ronne Randall, Five Leaves Publications, 2005.
