We had a marvelous discussion of this book last night. The Attack is the story of an esteemed Arab doctor living in Tel Aviv with his wife. When she is killed in a terrorist bombing, her husband realizes she had a secret life. His journey to learn her secrets set amidst the Israeli/Palestinian conflict makes for a fascinating read. The author does a good job of illuminating both sides of a complex issue, and we got a quick history lesson as part of the discussion.
I highly recommend it for bookclubs (and it's short).
The End.
