Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the shadows of surveillance towers and concrete checkpoints, two lives intertwine-one crossing borders, the other enforcing them.Noura, a Palestinian woman surviving day to day as a hospital cleaner in Tel Aviv, walks a thin line with every step she takes across a heavily monitored border. Her permit is always at risk. Her silence is survival. But when a glitch in the system flags her as a potential threat, she's pulled into secondary screening-and face to face with someone she thought she'd never see again.Yousef was once a boy who folded paper boats with her, who made promises under a shared sky. Now, he's a soldier on the other side of the glass. A drone operator. A man tasked with watching for danger. And suddenly, she's in his sights.Their reunion is not fate-it is tension. It is memory. It is danger. Because in a system built on suspicion and code, even a look too long, a word too soft, can trigger alarm. Their history-fragile, sweet, unresolved-becomes a liability.As surveillance tightens and propaganda threatens to erase Noura's name, Yousef risks his own status to protect her. A glance becomes a message. A warning becomes a poem. A flag in the system becomes the fire between them.But they are not alone. Anonymous messages warn Noura she is being watched. Soldiers board her bus. Drones track her movements. A silence descends, not of peace, but of calculated control.Told in poetic prose through alternating perspectives, Across the Borderline is not a traditional love story-it is a story of what remains unspoken in places where language itself is regulated. It is about the weight of memory, the erosion of identity, and what it costs to be seen.The checkpoint becomes a metaphor for the emotional terrain both Noura and Yousef must navigate-every crossing a choice, every silence a rebellion, every connection a risk. Their relationship is rendered in moments: shared history, stolen glances, encrypted messages, and dangerous hope.Lyrical, intimate, and deeply political, this novel explores:Surveillance and its dehumanizing logicForbidden intimacy across military and cultural linesMemory as resistanceThe haunting legacy of occupation, identity, and inherited silenceFor readers who loved the emotional depth of The Kite Runner, the quiet intensity of The Handmaid's Tale, and the poetic resistance of Salt Houses, Across the Borderline is a necessary and unforgettable journey.In the end, this is not just Noura's story. It is the story of every person trying to stay human in a world that reduces lives to numbers. And in that world, even love becomes an act of rebellion.…
