Yoel Blum is a successful Israeli writer in Israel and around the world. A visit to Amsterdam throws him into a historical and emotional reality where, for the first time in his life, the story he did not know and did not imagine will be revealed to him: his own story. In A House on Many Waters, Amuna Elon distances herself from the geographical and sociological regions where the plots of her previous books took place, but this time too she places the main event within the family, within the closest relationships and within the soul.
