Description

In this psychologically charged novel, a translator seeking refuge in The Hague becomes entangled in a web of personal and political complexities. As she navigates her own fractured identity and a complicated romance, she finds herself drawn into the aftermath of a violent crime and the trial of a former president accused of war crimes. The interpreter's work forces her to confront the nature of truth, power, and the devastating consequences of violence, both on a global scale and within her most intimate relationships. This is a story about finding one's place in the world while grappling with profound moral questions and the search for belonging.
