Inhaltsangabe

In the economy class of a plane bound for Tel Aviv, the lives of two passengers intersect: Waleed Dahman, a Palestinian novelist returning to his family in Gaza for the first time in thirty-eight years; and Dana Ahova, a famous Israeli actress seeking the comforts of home after the mysterious disappearance of her boyfriend. Desperate for consolation, Dana confides in Waleed. Soon, forgotten fears resurface - Danas paranoia for her own life and Waleeds suspicions about Mossad. As the night sky hurtles past, the course of both their lives begins to change, and so too does the novel that Waleed is working on. By the time Waleed arrives in Gaza, he seems no more real - and no less imaginary - than his fictional character. At times a literary thriller, a nostalgic exploration about lost family history and a meditation on the nature of fiction itself, "The Lady from Tel Aviv" is one of the great achievements of modern Arabic literature.
