"Anyone who has had experience of the sad and subtle ways in which human beings torment one another under license of family ties will appreciate the merits of A.B. Yehoshua's A Late Divorce." --London Review of Books

A powerful story about a family--and a country --in crisis.

The father of three grown children comes back to Israel to get a divorce from his wife of many years; another woman, newly pregnant, awaits him in America. Narrated in turn by each family member--husband and wife, sons and daughter, young grandson--the drama builds to a crescendo at the traditional family gathering on Passover Eve.

"Each character here is brilliantly realized . . . Thank goodness for a novel that is ambitious and humane and that is about things that really matter"--New Statesman

"A master storyteller whose tales reveal the inner life of a vital, conflicted nation." -- Wall Street Journal
