Israel, just before the Six-Day War. On a kibbutz, the country s founders and their children struggle to come to terms with their land and with each other. The messianic father exults in accomplishments that had once been only dreams; the son longs to establish an identity apart from his father; the fragile young wife is out of touch with reality; and the gifted and charismatic outsider seethes with emotion. Through the interplay of these brilliantly realized characters, Oz evokes a drama that is chillingly, strikingly universal.
[Oz is] a peerless, imaginative chronicler of his country s inner and outer transformations. "Independent "(UK)"
