- Synopsis
- This tale of a conflicted family living on a kibbutz in Israel just before the Six-Day War is &“Oz's strangest, riskiest, and richest novel.&” —The Washington Post Book World On a kibbutz, the country&’s founders and their children struggle to come to terms with their land and with each other. The messianic father exults in accomplishments that had once been only dreams; the son longs to establish an identity apart from his father; the fragile young wife is out of touch with reality; and the gifted and charismatic &“outsider&” seethes with emotion. Through the interplay of these brilliantly realized characters, Oz evokes a drama that is chillingly, strikingly universal. &“[Oz is] a peerless, imaginative chronicler of his country&’s inner and outer transformations.&” —Independent (UK)
