Iris, a forty-five-year-old school principal, mother and wife, enjoys what she considers to be a peaceful life in Jerusalem until a terrorist attack changes everything. As if chance conspired to produce a profound catharsis, the doctor she goes to heal her physical injuries is the almost forgotten great love of her youth, who inflicted wounds as painful as those that have brought her back to her side. . Zeruya Shalev thus interweaves social and personal conflict with magnetic prose to delve into the complexity of human relationships, reflect on the possibility of healing wounds and offer a deeply moving story.
