The Zone of Interest

ebook
From one of England's most renowned authors, an unforgettable new novel that provides a searing portrait of life—and, shockingly, love—in a concentration camp.
     Once upon a time there was a king, and the king commissioned his favourite wizard to create a magic mirror. This mirror didn't show you your reflection. It showed you your soul—it showed you who you really were.
     The wizard couldn't look at it without turning away. The king couldn't look at it. The courtiers couldn't look at it. A chestful of treasure was offered to anyone who could look at it for 60 seconds without turning away. And no one could.
          The Zone of Interest is a love story with a violently unromantic setting. Can love survive the mirror? Can we even meet each other's eye, after we have seen who we really are?
          In a novel powered by both wit and pathos, Martin Amis excavates the depths and contradictions of the human soul.
