A re-telling of Christ's 40-day fast in the Judean desert.
Raw, lyrical, shocking and moving, "The Falafel King is Dead" is Sara Shilo''s powerful debut novel recounting the life of an ordinary Israeli family over the course of a single, extraordinary day in prose that we have never been encountered in contemporary Hebrew literature.
The town has lost its famed falafel king, but the Dadon family have also lost a father and husband. Living with the daily threat of Katyusha missiles from neighbouring Lebanon, and struggling to survive amid the rubble of their lives, Simona and her three children each find their own way of coping with their grief, their fear, and their hopes.
A superb debut from an author to look out for.
