Some are darkly fantastical and unsettling, such as the unraveling of a serial-killer murder mystery, or her accounts of an infatuated plastic surgeon and his sanitarium, and a mother back from the dead with dubious healing powers. Others are more attuned to surprising discoveries that shape personal identity, as in the story of a tragic past that lies within a family's theme hotel, or that of a struggling musician who hopes an upcoming gig will be his big break. In \"Jamilti,\" Modan addresses political violence with a suicide bombing that shakes up a day in the lives of a young couple.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059530481904,"sku":"9781897299548","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781897299548_p0.jpg?v=1763611047","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781897299548","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
