Itamar Diskin, a very handsome and very nearsighted man, lives in the United States and comes to Israel every year for eye examinations and to meet his brother and sister-in-law. During one of the visits, on an alcohol-saturated evening, he tells his brother about one night with a woman who met him twenty years earlier and took him to her home. A surprising story, sometimes sad and sometimes amusing, about love and longing, beauty and loneliness, passion and quarrel, two hearts and one flesh. Meir Shalev is the author of the novels A Russian Novel, Esau, some days, in his house in the desert, Fontanella, Yona and a boy and two bears. He also wrote the book Ginat Bar and the Illuminated thing was like that, files of articles and books for children
