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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[Oz is] a peerless, imaginative chronicler of his country's inner and outer transformations.\" --\u003cem\u003eIndependent \u003c\/em\u003e(UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOz, Amos:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eAMOS OZ (1939-2018) was born in Jerusalem.
