Book Overview: 'There is no novelist writing today who catches the feeling of the moment more surely than Amos Oz' Scotsman

Media Reviews
There is no novelist writing today who catches the feeling of the moment more surely than Amos Oz * Scotsman *
Here is a writer unafraid of displaying the full spectrum of the emotions, and a writer - be it noted - who actually seems to have some faith left in the future * Guardian *
Shows to brilliant effect the tenacity of non-love and the power of separation * Observer *
A remarkably moving novel, conveying newly the tensions of human needs where politics invades sexual love * Times Literary Supplement *
