About
Dr. Amin Jaafari, an Arab-Israeli citizen, is a respected, dedicated surgeon at a hospital in Tel Aviv. He has learned to live with the violence that plagues his city and works tirelessly to help the victims brought to the emergency room. But one night, a deadly bombing in a local restaurant takes a horrifyingly personal turn, when his wife's body is found among the dead-bearing injuries that match those typically found on the bodies of fundamentalist suicide bombers.
As evidence mounts that his wife, Sihem, was responsible for the catastrophic bombing, Dr. Jaafari must face the inescapable realization that the beautiful, intelligent, thoroughly modern woman he loved had a secret life that was far removed from the comfortable, assimilated existence they shared.
"Stefan Rudnicki's deep baritone, lightly accented enunciation, and textured characterizations are relentlessly, painfully true to life…Rudnicki's performance is urgent, immediate, and agonizing. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award."
"The book's dark vision of the conflict is powerful."
"The Attack, Yasmina Khadra's best book, is an urgent, must-read."
"Moving…[Khadra] nicely captures his hero's turmoil in trying to come to terms with the endless violence."
"The Attack is a detective story sans detective, suffused with raging grief over what sectarian violence has made of the Islamic world…powerful and engrossing."
