In defiance of the war, they scavenge an existence and explore the mysteries of their beloved city - until the unthinkable happens. In Evacuation, a novel of suspense, a profound tale about our choices under pressure, about love, for each other and for a place, about death, and about finding a way to peace, Raphael Jerusalmy is at the height of his powers.

Review:
'Like the famous photograph of the string quartet amid the ruins of Sarajevo, his [Jerusalmy's] book celebrates the persistence of art in times of chaos, and like another recent novella of the Middle East, Mohsin Hamid's Exit West, it combines a jolting realism with the timeless quality of fables.' Age
'A bright, light-struck novel... Jerusalmy reveals all the strangeness of an emblematic place torn by political, artistic and religious currents. It is a crisp and oddly memorable book.' Your Weekend
"An elegant examination of the choices we make and the individual peace we seek... Evacuation is a short but meaningful voyage of discovery, an Israeli road trip packed with musings on war, love, death, and art." --AU Review
