Amos Oz. My Michael (Paperback)

My Michael, first published in 1968, established Israeli writer Amos Oz as a major international novelist. A love story set in Jerusalem before the Suez crisis, it tells of Hannah Gonen's marriage to Michael, and her gradual withdrawal from him into a private world of fantasy and suppressed desires.

Translated from the Hebrew by Nicholas de Lange in collaboration with the author.
