The Lover

By: A.B. Yehoshua

Narrated by: Betsy Foldes-Meiman, Jim Meskimen, Jodi Carlisle, Taylor Meskimen, Jason Culp, Zach Villa

“Elusive, haunting.”—New York Times Book Review

A husband’s search for his wife’s lover, lost amid the turbulence of the Yom Kippur War, is the heart of this dreamlike novel. Through five different perspectives, Yehoshua explores the realities and consequences of the affair and the search, laying bare deep-rooted tensions within family, between generations, between Jews and Arabs.

“[A] profound study of personal and political trauma.” —Daily Telegraph

"Has the symmetry of an elegantly cut gem.” —The New Yorker

Awesome Performance

I love the performance and the the storyline in general. it's a truly unique book.

Buena historia, bien contaba

Me gusto mucho como presenta a los personajes y como te hace sentir lo que sienten ellos

Fabulous fabulous, but

The only criticism is that some of the Hebrew names and places are mispronounced. The story/book is fabulous. While not necessary to know to enjoy a great book, I think the more familiar one is with Bible, Rabbinics and Jewish history the richer the story is.

I enjoyed the story!

It’s worth reading or listening to. The story takes place in Israel. I enjoyed the story.
