Jules Epstein, a man whose drive, avidity, and personality have,
for sixty-eight years, been a force to be reckoned with, is
undergoing a metamorphosis. In the wake of his parents' deaths, his
divorce from a thirty-year marriage, and his retirement from the
New York legal firm where he was a partner, he begins shedding the
possessions he spent a lifetime accumulating - a watch here, an Old
Master there - and becomes elusive, distant. Resolving to do
something to commemorate his parents, he travels to Tel Aviv and
checks into the Hilton. Meanwhile, a novelist leaves her husband
and children behind in Brooklyn and arrives at the same hotel,
hoping that the view of the pool she used to dive into on childhood
holidays will unlock her writer's block. But when a retired
professor of literature recruits her for a project involving Kafka,
she is drawn into a mystery that will take her on a metaphysical
journey and change her in ways she could never have imagined.
