A celebrated, thrilling 'Israeli noir' about guilt and desire
'Gundar-Goshen's gripping second novel twists and turns like a thriller, and it is particularly impressive in its moral ambiguities' - Sunday Times

'The highly anticipated second novel [by Gundar-Goshen]... proves it's not every day a writer like this comes our way' - Guardian
'Waking Lions is a classy, suspenseful tale of survival where the good guys and the bad guys are harder to distinguish than you might think. The implications of Gundar-Goshen's work extend far beyond its Israeli setting and shine a penetrating light into the dark corners of our safe lives' - The Times
