{"product_id":"9781787706323","title":"A Mask the Colour of the Sky - Addie Leak","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinner of the International Prize for Arabic FictionA bold, psychologically rich novel of identity, exile, and resistance from one of Palestine's most vital literary voices-written entirely from behind bars. Nur, a Palestinian refugee from a camp near Ramallah, is often mistaken for an Ashkenazi Jew. Fluent in Hebrew and with a degree in archaeology, he dreams of freedom beyond the fence, and of writing a novel about Mary Magdalene based on the Gnostic Gospels. When he discovers an Israeli ID card in the pocket of a secondhand coat, he assumes a false identity and is hired for an archaeological dig near Megiddo. Passing as an Israeli, he moves through a world previously off-limits and gains insight into the lives of those he's been taught to perceive as enemies.�As Nur's borrowed identity deepens, so does the rift within. Through an exploration of this internal conflict, Bassem Khandaqji's Arabic Booker-winning novel offers a meditation on the personal toll of occupation and the elusive desire to belong-fully, honestly, and without fear.�\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Addie Leak","offers":[{"title":"192 pages \/ 04\/06\/2026 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57158027673975,"sku":"9781787706323","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781787706323.jpg?v=1780999082","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781787706323","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
