"Thoughtful, self-assured and highly sophisticated, full of the most skillful modulations of tone and texture. A modern Israeli Madame Bovary.New York Times Book Review Set in 1950s Jerusalem, My Michael is the story of a remote and intense woman named Hannah Gonen and her marriage to a decent but unremarkable man named Michael. As the years pass and Hannahs tempestuous fantasy life encroaches upon reality, she feels increasingly estranged from him and the marriage gradually disintegrates. Gorgeously written, profoundly moving, this extraordinary novel is at once a haunting love story, and a rich reflective portrait of a place. "A dazzling, very beautiful, splendidly conceived and composed book." New York Review of Books
Amazon Indiebound Barnes and Noble WorldCat Goodreads LibraryThing

This chorus perfectly sums up the atmosphere in the story - Hannah's struggle with depression and loneliness ... and as always with Amos Oz - excellent portrait of the Jerusalem.

shawnmooney I am just catching up on your posts, and sorry to hear you are feeling better! I have yet to read Amos Oz but really want to! 7y
Gissy Great that you are feeling better. I perfectly understand. Sometimes I can't read not even a page due to my work hours. I try to catch up then during the weekends. I try very hard not to skip a day. But I'm always with my book friend and near to bed during nights, just in case....you never know if I can read a page 😉 7y
Simona Until now I read only his autobiographical novel A Tale of Love and Darkness. It was interesting, but it requires some patience...My Michael is the same kind "plotless" and quiet story - just the way I like it ? You should try to read it, because under the "plotless" story is a comprehensive emotional world. @shawnmooney 7y
Simona @Gissy Indeed, you never know. 😃 7y
