In 1941, in Cairo, Esta Weiss, a Jewish refugee from Europe, begins an affair with Archie Rawlins, a British army officer. Years later, Daniel Weiss comes in search of his father. He has come to Israel to bury his mother, and in the weeks after her funeral, he begins to uncover her past.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Hiding Room moves between Cairo and British Mandate Palestine in 1941, and Israel of 1991. In 1941 a reserved English officer falls for a waif-like Viennese Jew trying to flee to Palestine. He betrays her, then tries to save her from the consequences of his action. He too has to flee, at risk both from his fellow British soldiers and the Zionist underground. Fifty years on, at the height of the Intifada, the son of this brief partnership comes to Israel and Palestine to trace what happened to his father.
