A MOVING, OFTEN TROUBLING EXPLORATION OF FAITH, SELF- BELIEF AND IDENTITY... THE WRITER HAS A RARE COURAGE. THIS IS A NOVEL FROM A SKILLED STORYTELLER WORKING AT
THE HEIGHT OF HIS POWERS’
Times Literary Supplement
Tel Aviv. A suicide bomber has killed 19 in a packed city centre restaurant. Dr Amin Jaafari, an Israeli Arab, is a surgeon at a nearby
hospital. Respected and admired by his colleagues, the doctor represents integration at its most successful. But this night of turmoil and death takes a horrifyingly personal turn as his beloved wife’s body is found among the dead...could she have caused the devastation?
Intense and humane, thoughtful, sensitive and heartfelt, the book displays a profound understanding of what can seem
incomprehensible.
The fuse lit at the beginning of the novel crackles through the story to its clever destination’
Daily Telegraph
‘Khadra is a passionately moral writer, but he rarely sits in judgement...
A magnificent novel, believable and moving’
Literary Review
" A powerful and thought-provoking novel'
