חמתו של תמוז

A wedding is about to begin in a village sweltering in the Tammuz heat. In the yard the guests are waiting, among them the bride's childhood friend, a confidant and the man who adopted her. Indoors the bride, in white, is lying on the couch, and with her are the groom, his twin and their father: something dreadful has occurred. Unfolding within a few hours, perhaps in a small Israeli village in the 1970s, perhaps anywhere, the novel centres on a very young woman caught in a male world of silence and force.
