[An] ingenious work that circles around the rise of a state, the tragic destiny of a mother, a boy''s creation of a new self." - The New Yorker
A family saga and a magical self-portrait of a writer who witnessed the birth of a nation and lived through its turbulent history.

The story of a man who leaves the constraints of his family and community to join a kibbutz, change his name, marry, have children. The story of a writer who becomes an active participant in the political life of his nation.
