As years pass, and Michael goes off to war, Hannah&’s heady fantasy life encroaches upon reality. Hannah grows ever more estranged from her husband, as the marriage begins to disintegrate. &“A flickering, multi-toned Israeli novel which grapples with time&’s incursions, love&’s deceptions, and the diminishment of desire&” (Kirkus Reviews), My Michael is at once a haunting love story and a rich, reflective portrait of a place and time that &“takes the reader into the fevered mind of a young woman&” (The Guardian).
