My husband is not at home, the first book by Merav Halperin, won the love of the audience and the praise of the critics, and now comes her second book, which many readers were expecting. On My Dead Body is faster, edgier and above all - funnier. The unforgettable heroine of My husband is not at home sets out with her ex-husband on a crazy journey to save their soldier son. Against the background of some kind of war going on in the south, they decide to rescue the son, without his knowledge, by means of a failed lie to the army. On the way they are exposed to the typical Israeli reality - the madness of wartime, the confused public and the famous efficiency of the army. In this crazy mess, the heroine of the book manages to fall in love, be disappointed and above all laugh to the point of tears. This is a book that you read and laugh out loud while reading. Merav Halperin's witty writing directs a sharp and precise spotlight on the absurd places around us, doubt stabs doubt tickles them, and uses the background music - the songs of the military bands and the noise of the alarms - to make us dance in a bittersweet dance of happiness.
