Yearnings to a high-school love are mingled with the yearning for the lost youth of this country, with its landscape and poetry, as they accompany the hero of this novel, Elad, on his way to his kibbutz class reunion.
But the reunion, which starts on a promising note, ends with an earthquake that causes the land to disconnect from the Syro-African fault and embark on a mysterious sail. This is a surprising book, a sweet love affair that turns into a powerful apocalyptic novel.
