About the Book
An Israeli doctor hits an Eritrean refugee and leaves him for dead on the side of the road. The next day, the refugee’s wife comes knocking on his door. This psychological thriller set in the Israeli desert – the ex-territory of the Israeli society and where the biblical exodus occurred – explores the clash between the privileged doctor and the unseen migrant in which the desert is not only a geography, but also a mental state of mind.
