Product Description:
A novel which combines passion in a small, closed community with humour and an intimate anatomy of a relationship. The central characters are a middle-aged Israeli couple who met in South America and have been together for eight years following a tempestous love affair.
Review:
"Oz's sense of place brings Faulkner to mind. His quest for ideals is Tolstoyan, his hapless, decaying characters evoke thoughts of Bellow, but their intensity of feeling, their obsession with elementary issues is Dostoevskian" (Sunday Telegraph)
"A commanding artist who ranks with the most important writers of our time" (Cynthia Ozick)
"Oz has imposed order on a literary landscape that, at least to his overseas readers, seethes with conflict" (Guardian)
"An elegiac, exquisite portrait of a middle-aged love affair" (Independent)
