Stephen Daisley's amazing debut book is a story of war and of love - how each changes everything, permanently. Traitor is that rarest of things: a work of fiction that will move the listener, core, into another world. What would make a soldier betray his country? In the battle-smoke and chaos of Gallipoli, a young New Zealand soldier helps a Turkish doctor fighting with each other to save a boy's life. A shell bursts near by; the blast that should have wiped out them both consigns them instead to the same military medical center. Mahmoud is a Sufi. A whirling dervish, he says, of the Mevlevi order. He explains to David experiences. Of arriving in London with a pocketful of dried apricots. Of Majnun, the person mad for love, and of the saint who flew to paradise on the lion skin area. You are God, we all have been gods, Mahmoud explains to David; and a connection grows up between them. A connection so strong that David will betray his country for his friend.
