Items related to Husband And Wife
One morning, without warning and out of nowhere, Na'ama Newman wakes up to a new reality. Her husband, until now a healthy, active tour guide, announces that he cannot get out of bed. Reminiscent of Kafka's Metamorphis, we have full view of the relationship between Udi, who has gone on 'strike' and his wife, who tries to cope with the crisis in their marriage. In a novel that moves and shifts with extraordinary pace, Shalev captivatingly weaves her multi-coloured threads into a single delicate fabric. Courageous and utterly convincing, this novel challenges 'the way things are'.

Review:
"When I began to read, a kind of enchanting calm descended upon me . . . This book deserves to be read at least twice . . . I really think and feel it is a classic." (Ma'Ariv, Israel)
"A breathtaking narrative journey through the hell of a crumbling marriage . . . Written with a cool eye and a big heart, this is a love story for the 21st century." (Das Buche der Woche, Germany)
"No short quote could capture the orgiastic design of the prose. There is an irresistible frenzy in the language . . . one puts the book aside, convinced that this spring, no other book will compete with Shalev's masterpiece." (Die Zeit, Germany)
