Reviews
A warm, wise and sophisticated novel. I read it with much pleasure. --Amos Oz, author of A Tale of Love and Darkness
Nevo has created an engrossing work. . . . This is a compelling novel which I never wanted to end. --Julia Pascal
A deeply human book, suffused with desire and melancholy.
The novel s heartfelt bass note is the beauty and difficulty of human relationships, evoked with sympathy and an ear for the nuances of different voices which is as playful as it is precise.
"Thirty-three year-old Nevo's first full-length novel is a deeply human book, suffused with desire and melancholy."-"Jerusalem Post"
