A couple, long married, are spending an unaccustomed week apart.
Ya'ari, an engineer, is busy juggling the day-to-day needs of his
elderly father, his children, and his grandchildren. His wife,
Daniela, flies from Tel Aviv to East Africa to mourn the death of
her older sister. There she confronts her anguished brother-in-law,
Yirmiyahu, whose soldier son was killed six years earlier in the
West Bank by "friendly fire." Yirmiyahu is now managing a team of
African researchers digging for the bones of man's primate
ancestors as he desperately strives to detach himself from every
shred of his identity, Jewish and Israeli.
With great artistry, A. B. Yehoshua has once again written a rich,
compassionate, rewarding novel in which sharply rendered details of
modern Israeli life and age-old mysteries of human existence echo
one another in complex and surprising ways.
