This affect­ing nov­el by prize-win­ning Israeli author Savy­on Liebrecht has two dis­tinct parts. The first is set in the 1980s, begin­ning when the nar­ra­tor, Micha, is nine years old and meet­ing his favorite uncle’s prospec­tive bride, Adel­la, for the first time. The sec­ond takes place when Micha, now forty, is invit­ed back to Israel by his aunt Adel­la.
