A novel about connections made and lost, No Place Strange follows four people affected by the actions of a beautiful Palestinian terrorist named Rafa Ahmed. Lydia is a young Jewish Canadian woman running from the truth about her father's involvement with Rafa, who may be implicated in his murder. Lydia escapes to Greece, where she meets Farid, a young Lebanese man who has left his home for Athens. Farid's mother Mariam, once Rafa's professor, is struggling to maintain a normal life in Beirut in the midst of civil war, while his cousin Mouna is a political activist dangerously obsessed with Rafa. Lydia and Farid fall in love, but any possibility for real happiness is jeopardized by Arab-Israeli hostilities, the capriciousness of fate, and a past that neither of them can quite escape. Diana Bryden weaves these stories together with a poet's precision of language and a candid view of human nature, exploring the tension between two violently opposing worlds--between truth and belief--while spinning an achingly believable love story.
