Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Mordantly funny and deeply moving, this award-winning novel about life in a West Bank settlement has been hailed as âbrilliantâ (The New York Times Book Review) and âThe Great Israeli Novel [in which] Gavron stakes his claim to be Israelâs Jonathan Franzenâ (Tablet).
On a rocky hilltop stands Maâaleh Hermesh C, a fledgling outpost of Jewish settlers in the West Bank. According to government records it doesnât exist; according to the military it must be defended. On this contested land, Othniel Assisâunder the wary gaze of the Palestinians in the neighboring villageâlives on his farm with his ever-expanding family. As Othniel cheerfully manipulates government agencies, more settlers arrive, and a hodge-podge of shipping containers and mobile homes takes root.
One steadfast resident is Gabi Kupper, a former kibbutz dweller who savors the delicate routines of life on the settlement. When Gabiâs prodigal brother, Roni, arrives penniless on his doorstep with a bizarre plan to sell the âartisanalâ olive oil from the Palestinian village to Tel Aviv yuppies, Gabi worries his life wonât stay quiet for long. Then a nosy American journalist stumbles into Maâaleh Hermesh C, and Gabiâs worst fears are confirmed. The settlement becomes the focus of an international diplomatic scandal, facing its greatest threat yet.
This âindispensable novelâ (The Wall Street Journal) skewers the complex, often absurd reality of life in Israel. Grappling with one of the most charged geo-political issues of our time, âGavronâs story gains a foothold in our hearts and minds and stubbornly refuses to leaveâ (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
