“Oz’s strangest, riskiest, and richest novel.” —Washington Post Book World
Israel,just before the Six-Day War. On a kibbutz, the country’s founders andtheir children struggle to come to terms with their land and with eachother. The messianic father exults in accomplishments that had once beenonly dreams; the son longs to establish an identity apart from hisfather; the fragile young wife is out of touch with reality; and thegifted and charismatic “outsider” seethes with emotion. Through theinterplay of these brilliantly realized characters, Oz evokes a dramathat is chillingly, strikingly universal.
“[Oz is] a peerless, imaginative chronicler of his country’s inner and outer transformations.” —Independent (UK)
