Description:
|
| |
From one of Israel’s leading intellectuals and political activists comes a novel of extraordinary power about family life—the greatest human drama—and the cost of war.
Ora, a middle-aged Israeli mother is on the verge of celebrating her son’s release from army service when he returns to the front for a major military operation. In a fit of preemptive grief, she sets out for a hike in the Galilee, leaving no forwarding information for the “notifiers” who might bring her the worst possible news. Recently estranged from her husband, she drags along an unlikely companion: the couple’s former best friend, Avram. Once a brilliant artistic spirit, Avram has been an emotionally broken man since being held as a POW during the Yom Kippur War. Critics have called To the End of the Land a masterpiece and one of the great antiwar novels of our time.
