Cold and alone in an ancient Palestinian village, a traveling archaeologist finds the threads of a narrative that will direct his life for the coming decade. Its characters are a Palestinian woman and an English man, each deeply committed to the conflicting demands of love and national loyalties. As the narrator slowly pieces together the fate of the two unfortunate lovers, he also uncovers a tale of treachery, duplicity and passion that highlights the contemporary plight of the enormous number of displaced Palestinians. Their final resolution surprises them both and reveals a depth to their commitments that neither had previously realized.
This is a dark novel, a passionate plot of love, intrigue and suspicion. The pain of Palestine informs every word.
