In eight interlinked family dramas, master storyteller Amos Oz reveals the secrets and frustrations of the human heart.
�On the kibbutz it�s hard to know. We�re all supposed to be friends but very few really are�
Ariella, unhappy in love, confides in the woman whose husband she stole.
Nahum, a devoted father, can�t find the words to challenge his daughter�s promiscuous lover.
The old idealists deplore the apathy of the young, while the young are so used to kibbutz life that they can�t work out if they�re impassioned or indifferent.
And amid this group of people unwilling and unable to say what they mean, Martin attempts to teach Esperanto.
