“Zahir is something you think about only in passing at first—and then you can’t think about anything else anymore. My Zahir has a name, and that name is Esther.”
“Zahir” is a novel of searching, a novel-confession. The main character’s wife disappears without a trace. He’s left with guesses: was it kidnapping, blackmail? He doesn’t want to think that Esther could simply leave without a word—that she could just break their relationship. Gradually, the thought of her becomes a fixation… The author shares with the reader his most intimate thoughts and experiences and tells a captivating story of love.
