<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Hailed by Publishers Weekly as "magnificent", this moving novel is set in Israel just before the Six-Day War, and describes life on a kibbutz, where the founders of Israel and their children struggle to come to terms with their land and with each other. "(Oz's) strangest, riskiest, and richest novel".--Washington Post Book World.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Oz's strangest, riskiest, and richest novel." --<i>Washington Post Book World</i> <p/>Israel, just before the Six-Day War. 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. <p/>"[Oz is] a peerless, imaginative chronicler of his country's inner and outer transformations." --<i>Independent </i>(UK)
