Upside-Down Love: A Memoir in Two Voices by Israeli American human rights lawyer Sari Bashi recounts her marriage to a Palestinian professor from Ramallah, tracing a relationship shaped by political barriers, legal restrictions, and social taboos. First published in Hebrew and later released in English, the memoir takes its title from the Levantine dish maqluba, meaning 'upside-down,' symbolizing how the couple had to invert expectations and norms to build a life together.

Written in alternating chapters by Bashi and her husband, who uses a pseudonym for safety, the book follows their journey from lawyer and client to partners and parents. Their relationship unfolded against a backdrop of military permit systems, movement restrictions between Gaza and the West Bank, and deep inequalities in legal status that at times made even meeting one another illegal.

Bashi, who moved from Tel Aviv to Ramallah to be with her husband, reflects on identity, pluralism, and power dynamics within Israeli and Palestinian society. Published in English after the violence of October 7, 2023, the memoir closes with a message of hope, emphasizing that despite ongoing conflict, people on both sides continue working toward a shared and more humane future.
