Description
Two married, middle-aged adults—Yair and Miriam—find themselves restless in lives that feel increasingly out of reach. What begins as a quiet, lonely attempt at seduction soon becomes an intimate exchange of language, where each carefully chosen word opens a door to longing, vulnerability, and the ache of what has been missing. As their “love affair of words” deepens, the novel explores desire, self-invention, and the fragile boundaries between fantasy and reality. With David Grossman’s lyrical, emotionally precise style, the story turns everyday dissatisfaction into a searching meditation on connection, intimacy, and the courage it takes to want more.
