Dinner at the Centre of the Earth

A spellbinding political thriller from the multi-award-winning author of What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, Nathan Englander.

A spellbinding thriller. A spy novel. A love story . . . 

Prisoner Z, held at a black site in the Negev desert for a dozen years, has only his guard for company. How does a nice American Jewish boy from Long Island wind up an Israeli spy working for Mossad, and later, a traitor to his adopted country? What does it mean to be loyal? And what does it mean to be a traitor when the ideals you cherish are betrayed by the country you love?

I love that fiction such as this can make you experience so intensely those great subjects with which your real-life familiarity is so very slight – GUARDIAN
