"A delicate contemporary tale about the quiddities of love and the perpetual mysteries of human motivations" from the bestselling Israeli author of Judas (Los Angeles Times).A New York Times Notable Book of the Year At Tel-Kedar, a settlement in the Negev desert, the longtime love affair between Theo, a sixty-year-old civil engineer, and Noa, a young schoolteacher, is slowly disintegrating. When a pupil dies under difficult circumstances, the couple and the entire town are thrown into turmoil. Amos Oz explores with brilliant insight the possibilities-and limits-of love and tolerance."A rich symphony of humanity . . . If Oz’s eye for detail is enviable, it is his magnanimity which raises him to the first rank of world authors." -Sunday Telegraph (UK)"Vivid, convincing, and haunting." -The New York Times Book Review"A vividly and affectionately detailed picture of Israeli village life-and of what might be called a July October relationship-by acclaimed essayist and novelist Oz . . . A perfectly pitched comedy, expertly translated, and one of Oz’s most attractive and accomplished books." -Kirkus Reviews"This novel, his 10th (after Fima), is set in Tel Kedar, a quiet desert town in the Negev that is both a microcosm of Israeli society and a vividly evoked setting whose atmosphere and residents are palpable . . . his story carries thought-provoking implications." -Publishers Weekly"Skillfully alternating point of view between his two main characters, Oz shows us the painful process by which a couple uncouples, one sinew at a time." -Booklist
