Set in Paris and in the enchanting landscapes of Central Asia, this new novel by the author of the international bestsellers "The Alchemist" and "Eleven Minutes" follows the journey of a man obsessed with finding the wife who left him without an explanation. The narrator of "The Zahir" is a bestselling novelist who lives in Paris and enjoys all the privileges that money and celebrity bring. His wife of ten years, Esther, is facing an existential crisis. When she disappears along with a friend, Mikhail, who may or may not be her lover, the authorities question the narrator. Was Esther kidnapped, killed, or did she simply abandon a marriage that left her unfulfilled? The narrator doesn't have any answers but he has plenty of questions of his own.
Then, one day, Mikhail finds the narrator and promises to take him to his wife. In his attempt to recapture a love lost, the narrator discovers something unexpected about himself.
