My End is My Beginning Summary

My End is My Beginning by Moris Farhi

Civilisation is on the brink of collapse. The people are controlled with Big Lies, mass surveillance and brutal suppression. What price would you pay for freedom? Oric and his lover Belkis are part of a rebel band devoted to liberating people all over the world from totalitarian oppression. When Belkis is brutally murdered, Oric's world is torn apart. Haunted by the thought that he could have done more to save her, he continues the fight for freedom that they began together. But Oric knows he doesn't have long left before his nemeses, the self-professed Saviours, return for him too. As the Saviours forge new alliances and grow ever stronger, Oric must stay one step ahead to complete the mission he was born to fulfill. Here, in the darkest hour, Oric will discover that even the smallest of gestures can bring the greatest gift to humankind - hope.

My End is My Beginning Reviews

'The last testament of a great-hearted visionary, writing about human beings all over the world struggling to liberate themselves from totalitarian oppression. An extraordinary tale of courage, self-sacrifice and love' Maggie Gee; 'Moris Farhi gives us a future fable aimed at the very heart of our troubled times. This is a vivid, urgent testament. Read it.' Lisa Appignanesi ; 'Farhi gives the glow of life to all he writes' Alan Sillitoe ; 'Farhi is fuelled by a powerful imaginative gift.' New Statesman ; 'Like a Truffaut of the East, who prefers the pen to the camera.' Elle ; 'Writing of this quality and passion is a gift.' Time Out; 'Farhi speaks powerfully and movingly for the oppressed.' Jewish Chronicle; 'Moris Farhi shames the willed littleness of British fiction. In Farhi's writing there is a distinctive collision of traditions which results in something funny, political and unique.' David Hare
