The novel tells the story of Dina, a family doctor living in the melting pot city of Haifa, Israel. Born to Australian Holocaust Survivors in Melbourne, Dina left behind a childhood marred by misery to build a new life in the promised land.
After starting a family of her own, she finds her life falling apart beneath the demands of her eccentric patients, a marriage starting to fray, the ever-present threat of terrorist attack and the ghost of her mother, haunting her with memories that Dina would prefer to forget.
