Following on the heels of the critically acclaimed TEN THOUSAND LOVERS (finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award) and LOOK FOR ME (winner of the Hugh MacLennan Prize), this last book of the Tel Aviv trilogy tells the poignant, humorous and heartbreaking story of three generations of an Israeli family. "I am Sonya Vronsky, professor of Mathematics at Tel Aviv University, and this is the story of a day in late August. On this remarkable day I kissed a student, pursued a lover, found my father, and left my brother." So begins Ravel's captivating novel.
