Description
In February 2000, the writer Richard Zimler met a mysterious dancer at an Australian literary festival, only to witness her tragic suicide the next day. This shocking act was to trigger an investigation into her past that would alter the course of his life forever. His search initially leads him to the tranquillity and tolerance of 1950s Israel, where he learns of the powerful sisterhood forged between two girls - one Palestinian, one Israeli. But as Zimler is drawn deeper into their story, he uncovers illusion, deceit and - most shocking of all - a connection to the most horrifying atrocity of the twenty-first century. At once a memoir and a thriller, The Search for Sana sees the internationally bestselling author of the Sephardic Cycle create an unflinching exploration of lifelong friendship, loyalty, cruelty and dispossession.
Author is a multiple prize winner and nominee who has previously sold over 935,000 copies of his books worldwide. 20,000 copies sold in all languages worldwide. Portuguese edition of the novel was a bestseller. Nominated for the International Dublin Literary Award.
