ויקי ויקטוריה

Vicky Manila, a lawyer, leaves her parents and settles in Tel Aviv with her son, and people around her find themselves confronting emotions they had been avoiding. The novel covers fifty-two days and three families. Vicky, who fell pregnant by surprise at twenty-two, cannot say for certain who fathered her eight-year-old, though the boy keeps asking; Matti Liber is seized by grief for a sister who died; Galia Neuman suspects her husband is unfaithful, while her father gets a remarkable visit; and Geula, a solitary woman, falls in love with Isidor Gad, who can barely see.
