I have a feeling I would have enjoyed this book a lot more had I not just finished Wish You Were Here which was structurally very much like this. There’s a frame story in which a woman’s son has gone to a military action and she takes off to walk around Israel with the boy’s father – that’s about 1/4 of the way in the book. As they walk, the woman tells the man a lot of stories, the story of the life of his son, really. The tale became dreadfully boring (at least to me). >>> MORE >>>>
