β¦ Synopsis
This tale of a conflicted family living on a kibbutz in Israel just before the Six-Day War is "Oz's strangest, riskiest, and richest novel." --The Washington Post Book World
"Oz's strangest, riskiest, and richest novel." --Washington Post Book World
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.
"[Oz is] a peerless, imaginative chronicler of his country's inner and outer transformations." --Independent (UK)

A short story by Michael Graeme - a twenty minute read: He scooped some water up and drank. It astonished him. It tasted like he imagined the most perfect water should taste, but it was a sensation spoiled by the queer fact that he wasn't thirsty even though he had walked for hours under a hot sun.
