His life is one of many to be affected by a terrorist attack that occurs on the day he arrives.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Set in contemporary Israel, this powerful novel is narrated in real time by many voices: Sixteen-year-old Thomas, from Berlin, seeking answers to questions about his grandfather, a Nazi officer in World War II.
