A woman with three loves and a son with three fathers: a
universal story of passion and personal destiny by the
award-winning author of "A Pigeon and a Boy."
When the mysterious Judith arrives in a small agricultural village
in Palestine in the 1930s, she attracts attention of three men:
Moshe, a widowed farmer; Globerman, a wealthy cattle dealer; and
Jacob, who loses his wife--the most beautiful woman in the
village--because of his obsession with Judith, who insists on
living in a cowshed rather than settling down with any of her
admirers. When she gives birth to Zayde, all three suitors consider
him their son, and Zayde, who tragically loses Judith, imbibes
their triple wisdom and their distinct versions of his origins. As
Zayde pieces together the beguiling story of the singular woman who
was his mother, Meir Shalev weaves a magical novel of the joys and
secrets of village life, of an unconventional family, and the
unexpected fruits of love.
