...walks in the high-tech research park. Those two hot-selling thrillers were set in, respectively, a Spanish resort community and a leafy French office campus.

Ballard has seen the enemy and he is us, at our worst. As a slightly less pessimistic British writer, Martin Amis, has observed: "Ballard is quite unlike anyone else.

Khairi is the son of the man who planted the lemon tree; he was born in the house and lived there until age 4, when he and his family, and hundreds of others, were forced onto buses by Israeli soldiers and driven to the West Bank, where they have lived as refugees ever since. The fraught and complex friendship that ensues between Dalia - a committed Zionist who wants justice for the Palestinians - and Bashir, a Palestinian militant who insists on his right of return to his home, allows for a rare frank...
