Through five different perspectives, Yehoshua explores the realities and consequences of the affair and the search, laying bare deep-rooted tensions within family, between generations, between Jews and Arabs. " A] profound study of personal and political trauma." --Daily Telegraph "Has the symmetry of an elegantly cut gem." --The New Yorker |
