In a fit of preemptive grief and mag- ieal thinking, she sets out for a hike in the Galilee, leaving no for warding information for the “noti- fiers” who might darken her door with the worst possible news. Estranged from her husband, Ilan, she drags along an unlikely eom- panion: their former best friend and her former lover Avram. The novel traees what happens as they walk and talk. “While Grossman’s novel has the vast sweep of pure tragedy, it is also at times playful, and utterly engrossing The story unfolds with eare and truth, wit and ten derness and rare understanding. This is one of those few novels that feel as though they have made a differenee to the world.” The September 12 Temple Israel book elub diseussion of this “powerful meditation on war, friendship, and family” is sure to enrieh and expand our understand ing of what it means to live in Israel. Copies of To the End of the Land are available at the publie library, the Levine-Sklut Judaie Library and for sale at loeal book stores and on-line for less than $15. Temple Israel book elub meet ings are open to the entire eommu- nity. “Drop-ins” are weleome, even those who haven’t read the book.
