Wandering Star is the story of two women, caught up in the turmoil of the Middle East, who aspire for peace - Ester, a Jewish girl who takes part in the founding of Israel, and Nejma, a Palestinian who becomes a refugee.
Wandering Star tells two discrete stories of two young girls, one Jewish and one Palestinian, who meet once briefly by chance. Their stories are connected by substance, rather than plot. Each is a wandering star in search of a homeland - Esther escaping the Nazi holocaust, and Nejma, who experiences the horrors of life in the camps. Yet through this novel of dark times and human suffering, affirmation shines as the characters encounter the beauty of nature and instances of human kindness and love. Author Le Clezio is the winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Literature.
