Lily is a young emigrant student exploring the wonders and terrors of her new land when she meets the man of her dreams.

Ami, a former actor, is handsome, intelligent and exciting - but, like his beautiful, disintegrating country, he has a terrible flaw - he is an army interrogator.

As Lily and Ami's unexpected passion grows, so too does the shadow that hangs over them - the unspeakable horrors which Ami's work forces him to face.

In today's world, where danger, terrorism and the possibility of war are a part of all our lives, no novel could be more brilliantly, terrifyingly contemporary. Yet Ten Thousand Lovers is set in Israel in the seventies: a dazzling backdrop to a universal story of passion, suffering and the transcending power of love.

First published in 2003.

With the book I'm participating 'Vapautusten vuosi 2016' release challenge by Chania.

The book is here, thanks to everyone involved!!

Well, at least this book wasn't quite as mushy as I feared after reading the introduction, but still too much for my taste... the background story of Israel/Palestine/army issues was interesting but the actual love story was as full of clichés as can be expected I guess.

Will leave the book as part of the Valentine 2017 challenge at Educarium book swap.
