Eshkol Nevo: Homesick

Eshkol Nevo: Homesick

Fiction, 374 p. Hebrew, 2004; English translation, 2010)

Narrated from multiple perspectives this novel follows a handful of neighbors in the town of Mevasseret, just outside Jerusalem, whose Arab inhabitants were displaced in 1948. Nevo masterfully explores the dualities of life in Israel, and delicately draws out the hope and love submerged in the hearts of its citizens.
