My Quill and Quire review of Paths of Desire, by Emmanuel Kattan ...

... is up on the Q&Q website. It had been a while since I'd read what is essentially a crime novel, but I liked this one well enough. Here's a quote from the review: "Kattan wins us over with the sheer strength of his prose and emotional range, especially in the last quarter of the novel. What starts out as a rather contrived metaphor about Israel and Palestine couched as a mystery eventually turns into something devastating – a beautiful reflection on love, loss, and the senselessness of violence."
