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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutu Modan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1897299540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897299548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.76w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2008 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2009 pg. 175","brand":"Rutu Modan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978753704191,"sku":"9781897299548","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a944638-c193-4fa5-af48-d6126f635f53.jpg?v=1683242887","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jamilti-other-stories-rutu-modan-9781897299548","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
