Description
Vantage Point by Sara Sligar
In 2014 Alexandria, Egypt, history professor Omar El-Mohammedi is shattered when his once-promising son, Nasser, returns-not alive, but wrapped in silence and unanswered questions.
With no time to mourn, CIA agent Matt demands he decode Nasser’s journal, which may stop a terrorist attack. As Omar unravels its brutal passages, he is forced to confront family truths, his failings as a father, and the question: Was Nasser radicalized by faith, or was he a casualty of a fractured world that rarely seeks to understand?
Amid the aftermath of 9/11, the ensuing wars, and the Arab Spring, The Gales of Alexandria follows those left behind. His sister turns to faith, his fianc e to activism, and his best friends, who left for a new life in America, are caught in shifting tides. Meanwhile, Matt, torn between duty and doubt, and Risa, a Jewish woman in a failing marriage to Nasser’s best friend, find themselves drawn into Nasser’s fate.
The Gales of Alexandria explores politics, faith, and family-a story rooted in culture and history, unfolding with the pulse of a thriller. Why do we stray from our ideals? Can reconciliation emerge from loss, or are some wounds too deep to heal?
