- NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A stunning novel that tells the powerful story of Ora, an Israli mother, and her extraordinary love for her son, Ofer, in a haunting meditation on war and family.&“One of the few novels that feel as though they have made a difference to the world.&” —The New York Times Book ReviewJust before his release from service in the Israeli army, Ora&’s son Ofer is sent back to the front for a major offensive. In a fit of preemptive grief and magical thinking, so that no bad news can reach her, Ora sets out on an epic hike in the Galilee. She is joined by an unlikely companion—Avram, a former friend and lover with a troubled past—and as they sleep out in the hills, Ora begins to conjure her son. Ofer&’s story, as told by Ora, becomes a surprising balm both for her and for Avram.
