חלום עולם הפוך

She writes herself notes and can’t find them; he lost interest in the earth long ago and thinks only of the moon. Their minds are failing, but the old couple, with their dog, a know-all and a chatterbox, still set out by car from Tel Aviv for Denmark, where their daughter lives with her family. The road takes them north while the story runs backwards, through the stages of their marriage to the time they first fell in love, and there is still time to snatch a little more of life, even to meet the northern gods. Narrated in the wife’s broken, wandering stream of consciousness, the novel treats dementia with tenderness, flashes of beauty and humour.
