redoutée : la mort de son second fils, Ofer, qui, sur le point de terminer son service militaire, s'est porté volontaire pour une opération d'envergure de vingt-huit jours dans une ville palestinienne. Comme pour conjurer le sort, elle décide de s'absenter durant cette période : tant que les messagers de la mort ne la trouveront pas, son fils sera sauf. La randonnée en Galilée qu'elle avait prévue avec Ofer, elle l'entreprend avec Avram, son amour de jeunesse, pour lui raconter son fils. Elle espère protéger son enfant par la trame des mots qui dessinent sa vie depuis son premier souffle, et lui éviter ainsi le dernier. À travers le destin bouleversant d'une famille qui tente à tout prix de préserver ses valeurs et ses liens affectifs, l'auteur nous relate l'histoire de son pays de 1967 à nos jours et décrit avec une force incomparable les répercussions de cet état de guerre permanent sur la psyché des Israéliens, leurs angoisses, leurs doutes, mais aussi la vitalité, l'engagement, et l'amour sous toutes ses formes." -- 4e de couvIndigo summer (Kimani Tru)
