Summary: | "One night, a phone rings in Paris. Adam learns that Mourad, once his closest friend, is dying. He quickly throws some clothes in a suitcase and takes the first flight out, to the homeland he fled twenty-five years ago. Exiled in France, Adam has been leading a peaceful life as a respected historian, but back among the milk-white mountains of the East his past soon catches up with him. His childhood friends have all taken different paths in life - and some now have blood on their hands. Loyalty, identify, and the clash of cultures and beliefs are at the core of this long-awaited novel by the French-Lebenese literary giant Amin Maalouf." -- |
