Produktbeschreibung

Praise for Wherever You Go

Chekhov famously advised that it is not the job of the novelist to solve problems, only to present them correctly. Joan Leegant's remarkable and affecting novel, at once lucid and lyrical, deftly illuminates the darker confusions of contemporary Jewish life in Israel with a warm heart and a cold eye. Not since the warring Zuckerman brothers in Philip Roth's The Counterlife have the exigencies of settler politics and secular desires been so cogently addressed in a work of fiction. Who says the novel has lost its relevance? This one should be required reading. Jonathan Wilson, author of A Palestine Affair
