Amos Oz

Opis

Takes us on a seductive journey through author's childhood and adolescence, along Jerusalem's war-torn streets in the 1940s and '50s, and into the infernal marriage of two kind, well-meaning people: his fussy, logical father, and his dreamy, romantic mother.

Recenzje

One of the funniest, most tragic and most touching books I have ever read. A testament to a family, a time and a place. Guardian
