Synopsis
The chronicle of six generations in a Sephardi Jewish family, from the mid-19th century to the present. Told through a series of five conversations, the story moves back and forth between Europe and Jerusalem, the focal point. Yehoshua's previous books include "The Continuing Silence of a Poet".

Review
Mr Mani New Statesman and Society) -- New Statesman and Society
A.B. Yehoshua has created a historical and psychological universe - nearly biblical in the range and penetration of its enchanting "begats" - with an amazingly real Jerusalem at its centre. -- Cynthia Ozick
For this is more than just a tale of one eccentric family; it has the relentlessness of the Old Testament, the contentiousness of Job. The Manis not only pass down their sense of guilt, the source of their quixotic and often tragic fate, they ask in each generation what it means to be a Jew: are we not all from the same seed, are we not all "Jews forgetful of being Jews"? -- Wendy Brandmark, The Independent
It is extraordinarily skilful to have captured the Jewish mixture of suffering and revival, despair and messianic hope, without in any way spelling out such heavy themes. -- David Pryce-Jones, The Financial Times
Yehoshua is a marvellous story teller but also a profoundly political writer, always arguing for uncertain humanism rather than zealous nationalism in a country where everyone lives on the front line. -- Nicci Gerrard, The Observer
Yehoshua's minutely researched novel ramifies out from the city to record the rich and wretched elements that have gone into the founding and continuation of the nation whose centre it has once again become. -- Peter Kemp, The Sunday Times
