Never before have I been so moved by a work of fiction! David Grossman has brought to life two of the most intense characters, Ora and Avram, who struggle so with the effects of war, love, fear and friendship as they make an epic soul-baring walk through the Israeli countryside. This is an extraordinary, unforgettable story that I am very glad came my way!

This is his story about the rest of his life and how he dealt with the trauma, the guilt and the profound effect this had on every waking moment, every relationship, and every decision he has had to make since then. This is a book you should take your time with and read with compassion.

Walking in the woods with my pup, kayaking, reading good books and listening to music that stirs my soul are my passions in life. Actually my idea of a good day kayaking is parking myself in a sunny spot on a pond, hanging my legs over the side of the kayak and opening a book! I love to read fiction, biography and memoirs with a smattering of history and true adventure thrown in the mix. I love all kinds of music as long as it lights a fire in my soul and makes me want to sing!
