Waking Lions
ABOUT
THE BOOK
Dr Eitan Green is a good man. He saves lives. Then, speeding along a deserted moonlit road in his SUV after an exhausting hospital shift, he hits someone. Seeing that the man, an African migrant, is beyond help, he flees the scene.
It is a decision that changes everything.
Because the dead man’s wife knows what happened. And her price is not money. It is something else entirely.
A gripping, suspenseful and morally devastating drama of guilt and survival, shame and desire. It looks at the darkness inside all of us to ask: what would we do? What are any of us capable of?
