At eighty-five, Teo is ready to retire from the bombast and
romance of life as one of the world's most influential
choreographers. But when he meets Vivi, a fortyish waitress at a
Tel Aviv cafE, the fires of his youth flare back to life--his
passion for a woman's touch, his long-buried anguish at his wartime
experiences, and his complex engagement with dance. Vivi's life
will change, too, as the warmth of Teo's affection counterbalances
her harrowing time as an Israeli soldier in an illicit
relationship. For both, their investment in art, and indeed in life
itself, will reawaken as the ghosts of their suppressed pasts--from
Warsaw to Copenhagen, Berlin to Tel Aviv--cry out for forgiveness
and healing.
With lustrous prose capturing the grit and fury of history and
the breathtaking power of passion, "When We Danced on Water" is a
compelling novel of intimacy and identity, art and ambition, and
how love can truly transcend tragedy.
'Memories After My Death' is the story of Tommy Lapid, a well-loved
and controversial Israeli figure who saw the development of the
country from all angles over its first sixty years. From seeing his
father taken away to a concentration camp to arriving in Tel Aviv
at the birth of Israel, Tommy Lapid lived every major incident of
Jewish life since the 1930s first-hand. This sweeping narrative is
mesmerizing for anyone with an interest in how Israel became what
it is today. Lapid's uniquely unorthodox opinions - he belonged to
neither left nor right, was Jewish, but vehemently secular - expose
the many contradictions inherent in Israeli life today.

Expelled Mossad agent, Ronen, has disappeared following a failed
assassination attempt on the life of the Hezbollah operative
responsible for suicide bombings in Israel. Feared to be on an
unauthorized mission that will bring catastrophe to his country,
Ronen must be found and his former commander, Gadi, takes it upon
himself to track him down. The resulting physical and intellectual
scuffle between the two men becomes one of deeper, moral inquiry.
'... high stakes, and the brutal complexity and fear of today's
fragmented Middle East ... Ben-David delivers spy thrillers with
all the authenticity and inside knowledge of an ex-Mossad agent'
Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of JERUSALEM: THE BIOGRAPHY
