Between what was said and what was heard, a man is sentenced.
At an international tribunal in The Hague, Maya Bennett is the voice of a witness no one else in the building can understand. For three days she carries his Darija into English, and one sentence takes her half a second.
Months later the Chamber finds that Daniel Mercer, a foreign officer attached to a security unit at the end of a war, released a detainee, and that only a man in command could have done it. Maya's rendering was defensible by every standard of her profession. Listening again, alone, she begins to hear what it left out.
No one has asked her. The rules of her profession were written so that no one would have to. To speak is to step out of the glass booth and risk everything she has built there; to stay silent is to let a careful system stand.
A literary legal thriller about translation, testimony, and the distance between an impression and a belief.
