The story of a lost dog, and the discovery of first love on the streets of Jerusalem are portrayed here with a gritty realism that is as fresh as it is compelling.

About the Author:
"Someone to Run With reveals again that Grossman is one of contemporary literature's most versatile and absorbing writers....A deceptively simple story that is another revelation of Grossman's genius." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Beautiful and arresting...Grossman has created a place of great dangers and improbable strokes of fortune, of compelling suspense and love's labors gained." --Los Angeles Times
"Passionate and heartfelt...a story that is at once universal and specific, a classical fable of love brought to contemporary Israel." --Claire Messud, The New York Times Book Review
