Produktbeschreibung

Who is LEDA? A passionate activist compelled to help a friend? An American doctor who'd risk everything to ease the unspeakable suffering and injustice she sees? Is she a deluded martyr-or an indifferent terrorist, with a taste for the brute blood baking in the desert air? Author Grace Austin unravels the twisted and complex politics of the Middle East-from British occupation, the birth of Israel, to the blood-soaked roads of Gaza-in this suspenseful and erudite thriller. Austin nimbly explores the origins of conflict between Palestine and Israel, through the wavering eyes of Leda and the intricate relationships she shares with a host of complicated characters. Leda is highly relevant, fast-paced, and richly developed. It's the story of one woman searching for life's meaning while navigating the dark webs of domination and resistance-it's a novel that speaks to some major questions of our day.
