ExileDavid Wolfe's life is approaching an exhilarating peak: he's a successful San Francisco lawyer, he's about to get married, and he's being primed for a run for Congress. But when the phone rings and he hears the voice of Hana Arif, the Palestinian woman with whom he had a secret affair in law school, he begins a completely unexpected journey. The next day, the prime minister of Israel is assassinated by a suicide bomber while visiting San Francisco; soon, Hana is accused of being the mastermind behind the murder. Now David faces an agonizing choice: will he, a Jew, represent Hana, who may well be guilty, or will he turn away the one woman he can never forget? |
