A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS

In his review for the New York Times, John Leonard called A Tale of Love and Darkness an indelible memoir. Among the indelible images presented by Amos Oz in this masterwork are a childhood marked by marvel; a family of immigrants who crowded Oz’s small Jerusalem apartment to enlighten him in more than a dozen languages; the tumultuous rebirth of Israel; and an award-winning storyteller confronting his most haunting narrative - the tragic fate of his parents’ marriage, culminating in his mother’s suicide.
