Description
In this profound and moving novel, an Israeli mother named Ora embarks on a desperate journey across the Galilee, a preemptive act of defiance against the possibility of losing her son, Ofer, who has been called back to military service. Accompanied by Avram, a man from her past with his own complex history, Ora begins to weave a narrative of her son's life, a story that becomes a powerful, unexpected solace for both of them. This haunting meditation on love, loss, and the enduring bonds of family in the shadow of conflict explores the profound ways we confront grief and the stories we tell to survive. The novel masterfully blends personal intimacy with the broader landscape of war, creating a deeply resonant and unforgettable reading experience.
