The Universal Language

A story about the unity of music set within the complexity of Israel. Nicky Gluch, a young Australian Jewish woman, travels with Americans, works alongside Palestinians and lives, for a time, with an Arab nun. She thinks she wants to be a doctor, that healing people will fulfil a sense of purpose. But in exploring that which divides us - religion, language, country - she finds that which unites us. A remarkably thoughtful memoir about music as 'The Universal Language'.
