Description
Zvi Luria's memories are beginning to slip away. At first, it's just small things - forgetting names and taking home the wrong child from his grandson's kindergarten. As he approaches 73, he knows that his condition will only worsen. His neurologist suggests ways to combat his illness, with the help of his wife Dina, a respected paediatrician. She encourages him to return to meaningful activity, volunteering at the Israel Roads Authority where he meets an old colleague's son. This leads to a mysterious project - planning a secret road through the Negev desert. As Zvi navigates this new challenge, he must confront the people living on the route of the road and decide whether to build a tunnel beneath their homes or flatten the hill. With humour and tenderness, A.B. Yehoshua explores the complexities of Israeli identity and memory in this moving meditation on love, marriage, and the human condition. ISBN: 9781912600038
