Description
A race for the Ark of the Covenant drives this affecting novel, set against the backdrop of a real-world treasure hunt. When a great antiquities collector donates his entire collection to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Nili Broshi sees her last chance to finish an archaeological expedition begun decades earlier. Motivated by a desire to restore her father's legacy as a renowned archaeologist, Nili enlists a ragtag crew to aid her in the search for the sacred artifact. As tensions rise and warring factions close in on the Ark, Nili must navigate the complex web of politics and history that surrounds it. The novel explores the disputed region at the heart of biblical Israel, where Palestinians and Israelis dig alongside one another, each hoping to find the artifact believed to be a conduit to God. Rutu Modan's powerful and humorous graphic novel offers a unique perspective on the Middle East, drawing on extensive research into this real-world treasure hunt.
