Description
A searing collection of stories by David Grossman explores how love, memory, and fear surface in the most intimate places—within families, bodies, and the stories people tell themselves. In the title novella, Rotem, a writer long based in London, returns to Israel desperate for reconciliation, only to find that what she has buried in language and distance is waiting to be felt. Elsewhere, Grossman turns a visit to a dying mother into a confrontation with bitterness and mortality, and in “Frenzy” he traces how suspicion can harden into obsession, reshaping a marriage from the inside out. Across these narratives, the author’s signature intensity and psychological precision illuminate themes of estrangement, desire, and the haunting ways truth emerges when it can no longer be avoided.
