"[An] ingenious work that circles around the rise of a state, the tragic destiny of a mother, a boy’s creation of a new self." — The New Yorker

A family saga and a magical self-portrait of a writer who witnessed the birth of a nation and lived through its turbulent history. A Tale of Love and Darkness is the story of a boy who grows up in war-torn Jerusalem, in a small apartment crowded with books in twelve languages and relatives speaking nearly as many. The story of an adolescent whose life has been changed forever by his mother’s suicide. The story of a man who leaves the constraints of his family and community to join a kibbutz, change his name, marry, have children. The story of a writer who becomes an active participant in the political life of his nation.

"One of the most enchanting and deeply satisfying books that I have read in many years." — New Republic

有一种小说，几乎在开始叙述的第一页，甚至第一个句子的时候，就会使你明白，将要阅读的，会是一部伟大的作品。这种感觉大约不是我们的经验，因为伟大的作品并无标准，谁也无法预料，一个开头，将会把故事带向哪里。这也不是一种猜测，明确无误的直觉会像一支离弦的箭，带着我...

Maybe that’s a good story. But I was blocked by too many place names. Sure can better appreciate the work after a trip to the great Jerusalem.
