When Hamas gunmen stormed his home at Kibbutz Be'eri on 7 October 2023, Eli Sharabi was dragged barefoot into Gaza’s tunnels, unaware that his wife and daughters had been murdered. Hostage - the first memoir by a released Israeli captive and already a record-breaking bestseller - recounts 491 days of hunger, brutality, and flickers of humanity. Sharabi’s extraordinary and unsparing narrative is a meditation on survival, moral choice, and the spirit's refusal to surrender even in absolute darkness.
