โฆ Synopsis
'Evocative and penetrating. Oz handles his narrative with great agility' Sunday Times
One day a man may just pick up and walk out. What he leaves behind stays behind. What's left behind has nothing to stare at but his back
In the winter of 1965, Yonaton Lifshitz decided to leave the kibbutz on which he was born, and his sterile marriage, to start a new life. But as he engineers his escape, the arrival of Azariah Gitlin, a keen new recruit, brings about a painful reconciliation of their different destinies in a society struggling with changing realities.
