: :
: novel of extraordinary power about the costs of war from one of Israels :
: greatest writers. :
: :
: Ora is about to celebrate her son Ofers release from Israeli army service :
: when he voluntarily rejoins. In a fit of magical thinking, she takes off to:
: hike in the Galilee, leaving no forwarding information for the notifiers :
: who might deliver the worst news a parent can hear. Recently estranged from:
: her husband, she drags along an unlikely companion: their once best friend :
: Avram, who was tortured as a POW during the Yom Kippur War and, in his :
: brokenness, refused to ever know the boy or even to keep in touch with them.
: :
: Now, as they hike, Ora unfurls the story of her motherhood and initiates :
: the lonely Avram in the drama of the human family--a telling that keeps :
: Ofer alive for both his mother and the reader. Her story places the most :
: hideous trials of war alongside the daily joys and anguish of raising :
: children: never have we seen so clearly the reality and surreality of daily:
: life in Israel, the currents of ambivalence about war within one household,:
: the burdens that fall on each generation anew. :
: :
: Grossmans rich imagining of a family in love and crisis makes for one of :
: the great antiwar novels of our time. :
