Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A story that tautens the sinuous strands of the period into a lethal knot. --New York Times Book Review

Like the best of historical fiction, Wilson's story is placed in an imagined past, but is really happening right now. --The Washington Post Book World

A Palestine Affair is hard to put down... (It) echoes its modernist predecessors: Forster's A Passage to India, Conrad's The Secret Agent, and James' The Princess Casamassima. --San Francisco Chronicle

Reseña del editor:

In British-occupied Palestine after World War 1, Mark Bloomberg, a beleagured London painter, and Joyce, his American wife, witness the murder of a prominent Orthodox Jew. Joyce, a non-Jew and ardent Zionist, is drawn into an affair with the British investigating officer, while Mark seeks solace in the exotic colours and contours of the Middle Eastern landscape. Each of the three has come to Palestine to escape grief, and yet - caught in the crosshairs of history - they will all be forced to confront the very issues they hoped to leave behind in this swift and sensuous novel of artful concealment and rolling passions.
