A widowed father and his teenage son fall in love with the same woman, but middle-eastern politics catch up with the family. The author draws of his own experience - his father disappeared (believed kidnapped) many years ago, but is thought to be still alive. The author has been seen frequently in and on the UK media in recent weeks commenting on current events in Egypt and Libya.
"Sensually written, there is an extravagant feel to even the simplest sentence", Catherine Taylor, The Sunday Telegraph.
"Haunting in every sense, Anatomy of a Disappearance is an absorbing novel that finds its eloquence in what is left unsaid and its most vivid imagery in what has been lost", Adam Lively, The Sunday Times.
