Shines a ray of hope into some very dark places' MICHAEL PALIN 'A fearless work of imagination'
AHDAF SOUEIF    Winner of the Palestine Book Award  Nahr has been confined to the Cube: nine
square metres of glossy grey cinderblock  devoid of time  its patterns of light and dark
nothing to do with day and night. Journalists visit her  but get nowhere  because Nahr is not
going to share her story with them.    The world outside calls Nahr a terrorist  and a whore 
some might call her a revolutionary  or a hero. But the truth is  Nahr has always been many
things  and had many names.    She was a girl who learned  early and painfully  that when you
are a second class citizen love is a kind of desperation  she learned  above all else  to
survive.    She was a girl who went to Palestine in the wrong shoes  and without looking for it
found what she had always lacked in the basement of a battered beauty parlour: purpose 
politics  friends. She found a dark-eyed man called Bilal  who taught her to resist  who tried
to save her when it was already too late.    Nahr sits in the Cube  and tells her story to
Bilal. Bilal  who isn't there  Bilal  who may not even be alive  but who is her only reason to
get out.
