"Winner of Israel's prestigious Sapir Prize, this is Hareven's first book to be translated into English. It Centers on Noa Weber, a successful, middle-aged Israeli writer and feminist. Noa spills her life onto the page with reckless abandon, writing her confessions to her 29-year-old daughter in the hopes of understanding her obsessive love for one man: Alek, an older Russian émigré she met at a party in 1972 Jerusalem when she was just 17. The bohemian lifestyle, philosophic arguments, and drinking and smoking of Alek's world were all new to Noa then, but more than that, she found Alek fascinating. Young and naive, she moved in with him and shortly became pregnant. Years later, even though Noa and Alek are still legally married, Noa refers to herself as a sex slave and sex addict. Alek, now a foreign correspondent, is a continuous but elusive presence in her life-Noa meets him in Russia or Paris whenever he beckons. Israel's leaders, wars, and its sociopolitical developments form the backdrop of this masterly written and translated story. Highly recommended." Read More
