When Ya'ara meets Aryeh, her father's boyhood friend, she is immediately drawn to his impassive, archly assured presence. It is not long before she forsakes her devoted and well-meaning husband for the mysterious older man who seems to embody all that she lacks: strength, will, and the key to her parents' inaccessible pasts. Their affair soon spirals toward the destructive as Ya'ara finds that the things that attract her to Aryeh also repel her with equal intensity. With schocking immediacy, Shalev lays bare Ya'ara's struggle to navigate extreme terrain, ranging from the sublime to the grotesque, the sacred to the profane, the liberating to the all-consuming.
