About the book
About Paths of Desire
This modern-day crime/psychological thriller is set against a backdrop of intolerance and narrow-mindedness, ambiguous motives and suspicious alibis. Its sinuous plot and complex characters take the reader on a suspense-filled journey of discovery. Sara, born to a Muslim mother and a Jewish father, is a Canadian archaeology student who has moved to Jerusalem. She soon realizes that Israel is a country where questions of faith and religion are inextricably mixed with politics and daily life--all too often creating deeply rooted frontiers and barriers in the souls of the people who live there. As she confronts the two seemingly opposing sides of her family's origins and wonders how she can she live and love in such a turbulent environment, Sara suddenly goes missing. Her father heads from Montreal to Jerusalem to find out what happened to her. There he joins her friends, professors, and the police officer charged with the investigation in an agonizing waiting game and learns that there were parts of her life she hadn't shared with anyone.
