Fate

By Zeruya Shalev

The paths of two women from different generations cross in this nuanced, heartfelt novel that explores the early days of Israel and its uncertain future.

Following the death of her father, Atara attempts to retrace the footsteps of the wife of his youth, who fought beside him in the underground prior to the founding of the State of Israel. Their encounter upends her life and the life of her family, sparking an uncontrollable cascade of dramatic events.

As the past is brought to light, it illuminates but also casts a pall on the present and the future, confronting each character with questions of fate, control, responsibility, faith, disappointment, and love.
