Ora's son is about to finish his military service when he volunteers for another operation. Terrified of receiving the notification of his death, she leaves home — so the army messengers can't find her — and walks through the Galilee with her ex-lover, telling him everything she remembers about her son. Grossman wrote most of this novel while his own son was serving in the IDF. His son was killed in Lebanon during the final weeks of writing. The most devastating Israeli dispatch ever written. Honest in a way that required everything.
