The father, an atheist communist who moved from Syria to France for his studies and stayed for love, has worked for decades driving a taxi to support his family. The eldest son is a driver for an app-based car service, which comically puts him at odds with his father, whose very livelihood is threatened by this new generation of disruptors. The younger son, shy and serious, works as a nurse in a French hospital. Jaded by the regular rejections he encounters in French society, he decides to join a Muslim humanitarian organization to help wounded civilians in the war in Syria. But when he stops sending news home, the silence begins to eat away at his father and brother who wonder what his real motivations were. When younger brother returns home, he has changed. Guven alternates between an ironic take on contemporary society and the gravity of terrorist threats. He explores with equal poignancy the lives of "Uberized" workers and actors in the global jihad"--Amazon.com. 650 0 Brothers|zFrance|vFiction. 650 0 Jihad|xSocial aspects|vFiction. 650 0 Minority youth|xSocial aspects|zFrance|vFiction. 650 0 Syrians|zFrance|vFiction. 650 7 Brothers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00839665 650 7 Syrians.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01141359 651 7 France.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Psychological fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 Psychological fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 French fiction.|2local 700 1 Kover, Tina A.,|etranslator. 938 Brodart|bBROD|n124287476 994 C0|bORL
