Ilustration To Books The Attack

Dr. Amin Jaafari, an Arab-Israeli citizen, is a surgeon at a hospital in Tel Aviv. Dedicated to his work, respected and admired by his colleagues and community, he represents integration at its most successful. He has learned to live with the violence and chaos that plague his city, and on the night of a deadly bombing in a local restaurant, he works tirelessly to help the shocked and shattered patients brought to the emergency room. But this night of turmoil and death takes a horrifyingly personal turn. His wife's body is found among the dead, with massive injuries, the police coldly announce, typical of those found on the bodies of fundamentalist suicide bombers. As evidence mounts that his wife, Sihem, was responsible for the catastrophic bombing, Dr. Jaafari is torn between cherished memories of their years together and the inescapable realization that the beautiful, intelligent, thoroughly modern woman he loved had a life far removed from the comfortable, assimilated existence they shared.

From the graphic, beautifully rendered description of the bombing that opens the novel to the searing conclusion, The Attack portrays the reality of terrorism and its incalculable spiritual costs. Intense and humane, devoid of political bias, hatred, and polemics, it probes deep inside the Muslim world and gives readers a profound understanding of what seems impossible to understand.

Notice Epithetical Books The Attack

I needed to keep an open mind while I was reading this book. I am not familiar with the point of view used to discuss the Palestinian cause. But I definitely do appreciate reading about the struggles that Palestinians endure on daily basis; Not only the colonization and injustices but also the loss of identity in a desperate attempt to blend in a society that radically despises their existence.

Yasmina Khadras novel The Attack set off a firestorm of debate at book club. The novel follows the journey of Muslim surgeon Amin Jaafari, a naturalized citizen of Tel Aviv. He shares his life with the love of his life, Sihem. It isnt giving anything away to say that Amins wife turns out to be a suicide bomber, detonating herself in the middle of a restaurant filled with school children. The novel then follows Amins journey from denial and disbelief to acceptance, if not of his wifes actions

I've always wondered (despite all the articles on what turns humans into suicide bombers) that HOW can it be what they feel think see believe how they find the guts to do something so horrible with a clean conscience. its not an easy task to find out let alone explain to the world and yet Khadra tries to do it all the same with a very humane perspective of the people around those suicide bombers, mostly steering clear of the dirty politics involved. The wife/bomber remains an enigma yet its a

I try to avoid going into bookshops because these days, what they actually offer, really, are hundreds and hundreds of books that I don't particularly want to read, of which I seem unable to resist taking at least two home with me, a bit like visiting the lost dogs' home saying we'll just take a look round. This was a bit of a labradoodle.It seemed like a good idea at the time: when going away on a holiday that requires some careful packing and weighing of suitcases rather than merely chucking

This is one of the best books I have ever read (and I've read over 1,000). The writing was insightful, new, and the story provoking. I was in the story to the end. I also loved the movie. The movie follows the book "close enough." The movie has a different ending and a slightly different route to discovery.So, read the book. See the movie.

Another book that really deserves 3.5 stars instead of 3 or 4 stars. The plot immediately grabs you -- a Arab-Israeli surgeon who's well respected and well liked by his Israeli colleagues and neighbors. The beginning opens up with him operating on victims of a suicide bomber, who turns out to be his wife! And then his life turns upside down! Did she do it? If so, what were her motivations? I liked that this book was written with a Palestinian perspective, and it sheds a nice light on the

A very frustrating, long winded tale that started of interesting. However, it has the most disatisfying ending I've read in a long time. The second half was a jumbled mess and the ending was an simply easy way to end the novel2 out of 5 stars.
