Despite being a slow start, this is definitely one of the best books I've read this year.

The story revolves around three young men living in Jerusalem, Amir, Yonatan, and a lawyer who for whatever reason isn't named. It was a disturbing yet very subtle domestic thriller, but it also gave a very compelling and honest insight into Arab Israeli culture.
