There are two sides to every story. This novel will make you think, make you cry and make you see the world in a different way.
Palestine, 1933: Rishou Hassan’s family have lived in Palestine for a thousand years. When a kibbutz housing Jewish immigrants is built nearby, there are rumblings of discontent. But Rishou likes his neighbours. In fact he's in love with one of them.
Sarah Landauer's father is muktar of the kibbutz and she knows no other home than Palestine. But when Hitler takes power in Germany, the sudden influx of thousands of Jewish refugees threatens to change everything she has ever known.
In a confusing new world of ancient jezails and British-built tanks, home-made bombs and jeweled daggers, there seems to be no going back and no way forward.
With his village, his family and his life at stake, Rishou must make an impossible choice: keep the peace at all costs, or go to war for what he believes in.
'He fairly told the Jewish side in book one. Now he fairly tells the Arab side in this book. If one asks, 'which one is right?', that one has missed the point.'
‘Vivid, emotional and utterly gripping.'
'Colin Falconer's novels are based on dedicated research - stories of passion and human frailty drawn on a vast canvas, about the perennial nature of love and the human spirit.' The Australian.
Note: This is a companion book to Fury: Book 1, which tells the simultaneous story of a Jewish refugee escaping the holocaust.
