Leading Israeli novelist Sami Michael shares his gift for navigating the cultural conflicts in modern Israel with A Trumpet in the Wadi, a novel that transcends its Middle Eastern setting with an honest and heartbreaking story of impossible love and the strength of family.

Set in the months preceding the 1982 Israeli-Arab conflict in Lebanon, this beautifully written tale is the coming-of-age story of two fatherless Christian Arab sisters, Huda and Mary, who live in the wadi -- the Arab quarter in the Jewish city of Haifa on the northern coast of Israel. An extraordinary bond of love and mutual respect unites the sisters -- polar opposites from their appearances to their tempers. Huda, the narrator of the story, is thin and withdrawn and, after abandoning her chance at marriage a few years back, has prematurely resigned herself to the monotonous life of an old maid. Her younger sister, Mary, is voluptuous, carnal, and perennially unemployed. Wrapped in the love of their sometimes bitter mother, their iconoclast grandfather, and the cheerful and omnipresent neighbor Jamilla, the sisters' lives change when a peculiar young Russian Jewish immigrant, Alex, moves into the upstairs flat. The melodies of the soulful trumpet player become the intoxicating theme music for Huda's unexpected reawakening -- and for Mary's dangerous foray into a love triangle with the heir of the local Muslim mob and her country cousin.

Michael's internationally acclaimed novel is a major achievement, illuminating the vast range of interlocking relationships between Jews and Arabs, Muslims and Christians, men and women. A Trumpet in the Wadi is an honest, witty, and ultimately heartbreaking story -- one that draws on the conflicts in the Middle East, but one whose insights into love and family can cross all cultural and political boundaries.

Flaky and Fickle
Style: Data Transfer (10Gbps)
Worked great for a month. Went to plug in a spare ssd to back up files from tablet and it never has worked since. No data or power through any ports. The light turns on and stays solid but is just dead. Waste of my money for now it is outside of return and I am having troubles getting in touch with Satechi.

Love this thing

I’m really impressed with my Satechi power passthrough 4 port USB C Hub. It’s really slick, streamlined, and really good looking too. It works well, doesn’t get hot or even warm to the touch.

Works, but man it is SLOW
TL/DR review follows: This thing does what it claims to do (gives you 4 USB ports that you wouldn't have otherwise), but the data transfer speed of any SSD I connect through this Satechi Hub is half what it is when the SSD is connected via my OWC Hub (data transfer rate is double when connected via the OWC Hub vs. being connected via the Satechi Hub). I'll keep this Satechi gadget (in a drawer) for times when I really, really need more USB C ports and therefore will be more willing to tolerate the data transfer speed slowdown penalty. I cannot possibly consider this to be a primary data transfer pathway however. These above results are from an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and MacOS Monterey with speed measured by Blackmagic Disk Speed Test utility. I did not get similar results on my 11th Gen Intel Core i9-11900 processor PC running Windows 11. Data transfer rates are the same (SLOW) when any USB drive is connected directly to the PC USB C port or when connected via the Satechi Hub. Highly worth mentioning, though, is that all data transfer speeds on the PC are HALF the speed obtained on the Mac Mini when connected via my OWC Hub. All PC data transfer rates were measured by CrystalDiskMark utility One interesting anomaly worth mentioning is that the PC will not eject USB drives if they are connected directly to the single USB C port on the PC BUT it WILL eject any/all USB drives if they are connected via the Satechi Hub. This particular PC has never been able to eject USB devices correctly. The Mac Mini ejects all these same USB devices correctly no matter how they are connected. All USB drives are formatted Windows NTFS whether connected to the Mac Mini or the Windows PC (for those who care) Conclusion: An interesting experiment, but for me the Satechi Hub is not worth what I paid for it. I can easily see it being a worthwhile investment for many, assuming undemanding use cases, however

My daughter LOVES these and wears them daily. She says they're really comfy and they slip on easily. They've held up for several months of daily wear so far and are still going strong!
