From the award-winning author of Ishmael's Oranges comes a searing novel set in Africa, with a Graham Greene-esque moral conflict at its heart
Claire Hajajová vo svojej tvorbe spája palestínske a židovské dedičstvo, čím buduje mosty medzi dvoma svetmi. Život na štyroch kontinentoch a práca pre OSN vo vojnových zónach jej poskytli unikátnu perspektívu na ľudské skúsenosti. Hajajová prináša do literatúry surovú realitu a hlboké pochopenie zložitých kultúr a konfliktov. Jej texty, ktoré sa objavili aj v popredných svetových médiách, odrážajú jej snahu o porozumenie a prepojenie. Žije v Bejrúte v Libanone.

A captivating story about love and loss, Ishmael’s Oranges follows the story of two families spanning the crossroad events of modern times, and of the legacy of hatred their children inherit.
