1. The Attack
A gripping psychological and political novel that follows Amin Jaafari, an Arab-Israeli surgeon whose comfortable, integrated life in Tel Aviv shatters when his wife is accused of committing a suicide bombing; driven by disbelief, he embarks on a painful investigation that forces him to confront hidden facets of her life, the motives behind the attack, and his own conflicted identity and loyalties, while the narrative probes love, betrayal, collective responsibility and the human costs of political violence.
