This is #lolita meets the #israelipalestinianconflict meets #conradThis #book was apparently a hit and also highly #controversial when it came out in #israel in 1970s. I can see why right away. However what really impresses me here is #yehoshua ‘s impressive master on how to tell a story. There are only a handful of characters. But he writes each of them in such a way that it seems there are more than 20. Every single perspective or opinion of each character taken to its highest. This novel is a riddle on #israeli society and the scars of the war. #highlyrecommended#thelover #abyehoshua #haifa#israeliliterature #arab #jewish#familyissues #harcourt #חיפה #יהושע#המאהב
