A devoted father who fails to challenge his daughter's lover, an old friend, a man his own age; an elderly gardener who carries on his shoulders the sorrows of the world; a woman writing perversely poignant letters to her husband's mistress.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEach of these stories is a luminous human and literary study; together they offer an eloquent portrait of an idea, and of a charged and fascinating epoch. Award-winning writer Amos Oz, who spent three decades living on a kibbutz, is at home and at his best in this \"lucid and heartbreaking\" award-winning collection (\u003cem\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Oz lifts the veil on kibbutz existence without palaver.
