Between Friends by Amos Oz
Houghton-Mifflin, 2013
212 p.
A collection of eight inter-related stories about kibbutz life in the late 1950s - and more. The lives of the characters reflect the flaws and inevitable failings of the kibbutz. So beautifully written. I am in awe of writers who can convey so much with such an economy of words. It makes me want to read more by Amos Oz but I am intimidated by his intellect. But, I will try. Also makes me want to learn more about the kibbutz movement and how it evolved and changed.
I stayed at Kibbutz Lavi in Northern Israel a year ago. Quite an elegant place, very beautiful.
