Eshkol Nevo (tr from Hebrew Sondra Silverston)
Published by:
Vintage (Random House imprint)
It is 1995 and Noa and Amir have decided to move in together. Noa is studying photography in Jerusalem and Amir is a psychology student in Tel Aviv, so they choose a tiny flat in a village in the hills, between the two cities. Originally called El-Kastel, the village was emptied of its Arab inhabitants in 1948 and is now the home of Jewish immigrants from Kurdistan. Noa and Amir's flat is separated from that of their landlords, Sima and Moshe Zakian, by a thin wall, but on each side we find a completely different world. Next door lives a family grieving for their eldest son, killed in Lebanon. His younger brother, Yotam, forgotten by his parents, turns to Amir for friendship. And further down the street, as he works at the building site, Saddiq watches the house...
In this enchanting and irresistible novel, the narrative moves from character to character offering us glimpses into their lives. Each of them comes from somewhere ...

The novel centres around 8 hours in the life of the Author (unnamed), a literary celebrity in his forties, who is in Tel Aviv on a stifling hot night to give a reading. Bored, he looks for distraction - and finds copy. On the way he stops at a cafe where he 'bumps into' some of his own characters. In his head he conjures up the life stories of the people he meets, not least Ricky, an equally bored but seductive waitress. Later, even as the reading from his new book is underway, and the obligatory inane questions ('Why do you write? Do you write with a pen or on a computer?) have come and gone - he weaves stories round the audience and the panel. Afterwards, the Author invites the professional reader for a drink before walking her home.It turns out she lives just opposite, so she goes home and he wanders off into the night. But he returns, climbs the many flights of stairs to the flat, where she lives alone with her cat - and they have ...

Published by:
Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
An international bestseller - the story of two teenagers and one missing dog on the run in Jerusalem.
Earnest, awkward and painfully shy, sixteen year old Asaf is having the worst summer of his life. With his big sister gone and his best friend suddenly the most popular kid in their class, Asaf spends his days at a lowly summer job in Jerusalem City Hall and his evenings alone, watching television and playing games on the Internet. One morning, Asaf's routine is interrupted by an absurd assignment: to find the owner of a stray yellow Labrador. Meanwhile on the other side of the city, Tamar, a talented singer with a lonely, tempestuous soul, undertakes an equally unpromising mission: to rescue a young drug addict from the Jerusalem underworld... and eventually, to find her dog.
Grossman's most popular work to date, a bestseller hailed by the Israeli press for its mixture of fairy-tale magic, emotional sensitivity, and ...

Dana photographs - and tries to protect - people in areas under Israeli occupation. She also searches for her husband Daniel, missing since an accident 11 years ago during his Israeli Army service. When she falls in love with a fellow activist, she is forced to examine her loyalties. “The dialogue is crisp, the plot compelling, and the glimpses of the ongoing war are powerful. Not a false note anywhere.” - Toronto Globe and Mail.

Your wife is twenty years younger than you. She’s beautiful. And she’s having an affair. What would you do?
Things aren’t going well for Ilan. The book he is writing is months overdue. One of his students is stalking him, he’s addicted to Valium, and he has just discovered that his beautiful wife Naomi, more than twenty years his junior, is having an affair. His mother always said it would end badly.
Ashamed but powerless to stop himself, Ilan tracks down Naomi’s lover and confronts him. After one mad and spontaneous act, an unexpected chain of events is set in motion. With his life fast unravelling, and tortured by his guilty conscience, Ilan finds himself driven to increasingly bizarre and irrational behaviour.
Suspenseful and pitch-black funny,
The Full Catastrophe
is an exhilarating new novel from Israel’s pre-eminent playwright and scriptwriter.

'To understand the end you have to look for the beginning...' As a little girl in Jaffa, Israel, Tamara has an insatiable desire for stories, constantly asking questions of those around her, and demanding explanations. However, no-one ever seems to give Tamara the whole story, so instead she must piece together the various narratives herself in what will become a lifelong attempt to unravel the hidden secrets of her tangled family history, and so bring some meaning to her own life. Raised by her fiercely independent maternal grandmother, Simcha, who jealously guards her from others, in particular her paternal grandmother, Rashella, Tamara's love of stories develops into a voracious appetite for life itself. An impulsive, passionate seeker of knowledge in all its forms, nothing prepares her for the thrilling intensity and the danger of falling deeply, madly in love for the first time...
