A Mask the Color of the Sky. by Khandaqji, Bassem.;
Written entirely behind bars by a Palestinian serving three life sentences in an Israeli prison, 'A Mask the Color of the Sky' follows Nur, a young Palestinian refugee from a camp near Ramallah, who dreams of freedom beyond the fences of the camp. When he discovers an Israeli ID card in the pocket of a coat, he assumes a false identity. Passing as an Israeli, he moves through a world previously off-limits, gaining insight into the lives and beliefs of those hes been taught to see as enemies. But as Nurs borrowed identity deepens, so does the rift within: between Nur, the Palestinian, and Ur, the Israeli. 'A Mask the Color of the Sky' is the winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction.Library Bound Incorporated

Exit strategy / by Child, Lee,author.; Child, Andrew,1968-author.;
"First--a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing around.
