The Zone of Interest: A novel

The Zone of Interest: A novel

Once upon a time there was a king, and the king commissioned his favorite wizard to create a magic mirror. This mirror didnâ€™t show you your reflection. It showed you your soulâ€”it showed you who you really were.

The wizard couldnâ€™t look at it without turning away. The king couldnâ€™t look at it. The courtiers couldnâ€™t look at it. A chestful of treasure was offered to anyone who could look at it for sixty seconds without turning away. And no one could.
Â
The Zone of Interest is a love story with a violently unromantic setting. Can love survive the mirror? Can we even meet each otherâ€™s eye, after we have seen who we really are?

Powered by both wit and compassion, and in characteristically vivid prose, Martin Amisâ€™s unforgettable new novel excavates the depths and contradictions of the human soul.
