The Attackby Yasmina Khadra
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the bestselling author of The Swallows of Kabul comes this timely and haunting novel that powerfully illuminates the devastating human costs of terrorism. Dr. Amin Jaafari is an Arab-Israeli surgeon at a hospital in Tel Aviv. As an admired and respected member of his community, he has carved a space for himself and his wife, Sihem, at the crossroads of two troubled societies. Jaafari's world is abruptly shattered when Sihem is killed in a suicide bombing. As evidence mounts that Sihem could have been responsible for the catastrophic bombing, Jaafari begins a tortured search for answers. Faced with the ultimate betrayal, he must find a way to reconcile his cherished memories of his wife with the growing realization that she may have had another life, one that was entirely removed from the comfortable, modern existence that they shared. Review:"A genuine work of art." The Philadelphia Inquirer Review:"Gripping, dynamic....Both a fierce rendering of geopolitical tensions and a plea for peace." The New York Times Review:"An engaging glimpse into the kinds of stories we never hear on CNN." TimeOut Chicago Review:"A powerfully dark vision...of the [Arab-Israeli] conflict." The New Yorker Review:"This could prove to be a book of some importance owing to its fine technique and relevance to current world affairs." Library Journal Synopsis:Khadra portrays the reality of terrorism and its incalculable spiritual costs. Intense and humane, devoid of political bias, hatred, and polemics, it probes deep inside the Muslim world and gives readers a profound understanding of what seems impossible to understand.
