{"product_id":"9780692675625","title":"Queen of the Jews","description":"In contemporary New York City, a Jewish woman falls in love with a Palestinian wall painter who has been charged with killing her.\u003cbr\u003eGalia, a Russian Jew living in New York, has no idea that the man she's drawn to, Alejandro (not his real name), isn't Mexican at all, but is actually a Palestinian who carries out the wishes of his Mastermind, ostensibly a college professor. Where she sees a passionate, hard-to-reach riddle of a man, he sees a woman who is swept up in a global conspiracy to undermine Palestinian claims to Jerusalem-all because of a book she posted online about the ancient Hasmonean dynasty. But as they draw closer, Alejandro begins to question his assignment, putting them both in grave danger.\u003cp\u003e\"Very original. A monumental work of vibrant imagination.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Moris Farhi,Turkish author, vice-president of International PEN since 2001\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This rich...novel works on many levels, and it is impossible to label it, to define it by genre. It is both a love story, a philosophical novel, a historical novel, a surreal fable, a meditation on the absurdity of extremism, an allegory of our condition, and a mystery. In a nutshell, it is an original and beautiful novel.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Dmitry Borshch\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philistine Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019911545072,"sku":"9780692675625","price":10.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692675625_p0.jpg?v=1764100695","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692675625","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
