Praise for Evacuation

Raphaël Jerusalmy’s new novel is without a doubt his best…

It transports you to a life in which readers must make choices,

or at least wonder what choice they would make in this

situation. A novel worthy of the best in suspense literature.

This is fiction from which each reader will draw life lessons.

A highly original novel.’ Page des libraires

Although the Israeli Arab conflict is the background to his

novel, Raphaël Jerusalmy broadens the scope in a spectacular

way…He weaves a tale of heartrending universality.

Rather than shrugging off history, he confronts it in

his own superbly literary way.’ L’Humanité

In this marvellous book, Raphaël Jerusalmy shows us that,

despite the destructive madness of men, a few beautiful

spirits, angel-poets, will always remain.’ Le Monde

By combining truth and the untruth, certainty and

uncertainty, Raphaël Jerusalmy manages easily, such

is his huge talent, to transport us to the other side of a

mirror, which is less distorting than it appears…Magic

is not something imaginary; you just have to forget

the walls and they’ll come down and make way for

dreams, good or bad.’ Sud-Ouest

Enchanting, poetic and perceptive.’ L’Express

A brilliant, cinematographic, Middle Eastern

road movie of a novel.’ Le Monde des livres

An urban ode to the desire to live, and to peace.’
