" One of the best novels of the season. " Le Figaro`The novel is a little bomb...Khadra's best book - a must read !' - Paris Match`This is a magnificent hero and the treatment of his story, which could've fallen into several traps, avoids all of them. Khadra has such a control and power of emotion that nothing stops this reading.' - Le PointDr. Amin Jaafie, an Arab Israeli citizen, is a surgeon at a hospital in Tel Aviv. Dedicated to his work, respected and admired by his colleagues and community, he represents integration at its most successful. He has learned to live with the violence and chaos that plague his city, and on the night of a deadly bombing in a local restaurant, he works tirelessly to help the shocked and shattered patients brought to the emergency room. But this night of turmoil and death takes a horrifyingly personal turn. His wife's body is found among the dead, and as evidence mounts that his wife, Sihem, was actually the one responsible for the catastrophic bombing, Dr. Jaafie is torn between cherished memories of their years together and the inescapable realization that the beautiful, intelligent, thoroughly modern woman he loved had a secret life that was far removed from the comfortable, assimilated existence they shared. .
