Description
Amin Jaafari, a Palestinian surgeon with a life built on reason and care, is drawn into a terrifying chain of events when a suicide bomber’s presence shatters the boundaries between medicine, faith, and violence. Told through the eyes of a man who understands the body’s limits, the novel follows the bomber’s unsettling preparation and the ripple effects that spread through families, hospitals, and conscience. With intense immediacy and rare human restraint, it explores the spiritual and moral costs of terrorism—how belief can be weaponized, and how devastation reaches far beyond the moment of impact. Yasmina Khadra’s distinctive, humane storytelling brings a searching, unsentimental clarity to a subject often reduced to slogans, offering instead a portrait of suffering that refuses easy answers.
