Spanning several decades, the novel tracks a set of friends from Jerusalem, from elementary school at the close of the 1970s to the present. History passes in the background while romances start and end and the group goes through separations, marriages, divorces, celebrations and tragedies: Yoel the smart aleck, Lior the miser, apathetic Yoash, generous Avital, theatrical Ksenia, dependable Einat, along with their relatives. At the core is the decades-long tie between Ksenia and Yoash, two apparent opposites whose connection starts when a chair he throws strikes her face. Who is the untrustworthy voice relating all this in the group's name? The answer waits until the end.
