How do we continue living once we have lost our reason to live?
Rami and Bassam live in the city of Jerusalem — but exist worlds apart, divided by an age-old conflict. And yet they have one thing in common. Both are fathers; both are fathers of daughters — and both daughters are now lost.
When Rami and Bassam meet, and tell one another the story of their grief, the most unexpected thing of all happens: they become best of friends. And their stories become one story, a story with the power to heal — and the power to change the world.

'The book goes anywhere and everywhere. It is a delirious and thrilling improvisation, a jazz solo spun out of that meeting … A spectacular structure of stories about everything' Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times

    👍Worth reading

    Meget innovativ bog i sin måde at fortælle historier. Klart den bedste bog jeg har læst længe.
    Den tager udgangspunkt i to mænds tab af deres døtre. Den ene jødisk israel og den anden muslimsk palæstinenser. Meget rørerende og inspirerende.
    Springer i tiden men det fungerer overraskende godt.
