Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A bold and innovative novel, I Am Ariel Sharon<\/em> dives into the tortured mind of the controversial Israeli prime minister as he lies comatose and faces an ultimate reckoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Award-winning Palestinian Canadian novelist Yara El-Ghadban imagines the confrontation at death\u2019s door between Ariel Sharon, the \u201cKing of Israel,\u201d and the women closest to him \u2014 his mother, his wives, and the mysterious nurse Rita. Like latter-day Greek furies, they lament the brutality of his life and maltreatment of the Palestinian people and demand he face up to his part in the bloodshed of Israel\u2019s wars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
