In the autumn, Molkho's wife dies. His years of loving care have
ended and his newfound freedom proves unlike the one he had
imagined. It is uneasy, filled with the erotic fantasies of a man
who must fall in love, but whose longing for meaningful
relationships is held hostage by the spirit of his wife. Winter
sees him in Berlin in a comic encounter with a legal adviser from
his office in Haifa. Spring takes him to the Galilee and an
impossible infatuation. Jerusalem in the summer brings another
man's wife and an extraordinary request. And the following autumn
there is Nina whose yearning for her Russian home brings Molkho
back to life. 'In this finely observed and oddly moving comic
novel?Yehoshua makes us feel [Molkho's] humanity - and deftly wins
him our sympathy.' Kirkus
