About
Lev Dubnow, a middle-aged Jewish doctor, returns to Israel after some years away to attend his father's wake. He is shocked and deeply unsettled by what he finds.
Taking a trip up through the West Bank, Lev comes face to face with the dark, potentially dangerous atmosphere of fear and suspicion that prevails there. After witnessing the daily currency of careless humiliation and intimidation and after becoming involved in a number of incidents, he is eventually so moved that he voluntarily provokes a confrontation, which has devastating and lasting consequences for him. Peter Bourne spent his early years in the South of England and studied Law at Liverpool University. Recently, he travelled to the Near East, and spent the best part of a year in The Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Palestine/Israel, settling in Jerusalem for several months. Peter currently lives in South London, where he writes and paints. 'The Deserter' is his first novel.
