| 1. |  | Friendly Fire: A Duet from Harcourt Price: $17.16 Customer Review:  (4.5 stars) With Friendly Fire, A. B. Yehoshua, one of Israel's most honored contemporary novelists, creates a magnificent novel filled with real, flawed characters who come alive from the first page. The alternating narratives of Daniela Ya'ari, who is visiting her brother-in-law in Tanzania, and... |

| 2. |  | The Liberated Bride from Harcourt Price: $27.00 Customer Review: I was taken by this novel from the first page. Set in 1990s Israel, the author follows a year in the life of a university professor from Haifa, an Orientalist of the old school and senior member of his department, untouched by post-colonial theory and Edward Said. Old fashioned and out of touch in... |

| 3. |  | A Woman in Jerusalem from Harvest Books Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Yulia Rageyev was a Soviet immigrant to Jersualem, Israel. She was married and divorced mother of a troubled teenage son. Not much is known about her because she was an unidentified victim of a suicide bombing in Jersualem, her adopted hometown. A journalist and a bakery manager are on a mission to... |

| 4. |  | Mr. Mani (Harvest in Translation) from Harvest Books Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I read this book about 8 years ago and I still remember it as a favorite. Really the literary device of telling the story backwards in a series of five one sided conversations about the Mani family works wonders in offsetting and bringing you into their lives. You want to know more about them, but... |

| 5. |  | The Lover from Harvest Books Price: $12.60 Customer Review: Written 30 years ago, shortly after the Yom Kippur War, this novel opens a window on a cross section of Israeli society at a point where the future of Israel seemed momentarily less uncertain and the current stand-off between Israelis and Palestinians was still far in the future. All the same, the... |

| 6. |  | A Journey to the End of the Millennium - A Novel of the Middle Ages from Harvest Books Price: $10.20 Customer Review:  Bringing this book with me to the Middle East, I thought it would provide a nice "read-track" for my travels. Not knowing much of Israeli literature, I went with what I thought was an interesting blurb describing a story set against an exciting backdrop of the coming millennium (1000 A.D.). Now... |

| 7. |  | A Late Divorce from Harvest Books Price: $13.50 Customer Review:  A short synopsis - the family patriarch returns to Israel from America to seek a divorce from his estranged, and institionalized wife who is living in an institution. Along the way in a James Joyce-like fashion, we hear from each key character in the family dynamic. The young grandson, the son, the... |

| 8. |  | Open Heart (Harvest Book) from Harvest Books Price: $14.40 Customer Review:  I didn't like anything about this book! The writing style is overly complicated, pretentious and often awkward, it tries so hard to be eloquent, but fails miserably. The protagonist is a winy, self-absorbed child-man who doesn't have any depth. The story of his love for "this impossible woman" is... |

| 9. |  | Five Seasons (Harvest Book) from Harvest Books Price: $11.90 Customer Review:  AB is a hit or miss author. A Late Divorce stands as one of my favorite books of all time. AB was pitch-perfect in capturing Israel & domestic life among the less-than-perfect family. Liberated Bride was AB at his worst: slow as molasses with a tangent everywhere. I couldn't get through it. Five... |

| 10. |  | Facing the Fires: Conversations With A.B. Yehoshua (Judaic Traditions in Literature, Music, and Art) from Syracuse University Press Price: $26.95 Customer Review: These interviews are with one of the finest Hebrew language writers working today. Yehoshua is an outstanding storyteller and creator of character. However as a thinker he tends to return to a few fixed ideas, ideas which in some cases are based on ignorance. One of these ideas is that the... |

| 11. | [no image] | The Continuing Silence of a Poet: The Collected Stories of A.B. Yehoshua (Library of Modern Jewish Literature) from Syracuse University Press Price: $21.95 Customer Review: In this diverse collection of stories, A.B. Yehoshua provides a variety of settings, characters and situations, from the commonplace to the bizarre. A common thread in each story is a mounting sense of dread, even if outwardly nothing of tremendous importance is occurring: a father intercepts his... |

| 12. | [no image] | Three Days and a Child (UNESCO collection of representative works: Israel series) from Peter Owen Ltd Customer Review: Five stories, each unique with its own voice, defying nature, accepting nature, each deeply intent upon capturing the reader in the author's own world. A poet who decides to keep silence, with an extraordinary son, and a graduate student who is charged with the challenge of keeping his former... |

| 21. | [no image] | Early in the Summer of 1970 from Doubleday Customer Review: In reading this book for a class on the history of Israel, I realized how great a toll the wars of Israel have taken on its citizens. The survival of Israel is of the utmost importance, but at what cost? So many have died, and not only do we mourn their deaths, but also grieve for those family... |
