In a fit of preemptive grief and magical thinking, so that no bad news can reach her, Ora sets out on an epic hike in the Galilee. She is joined by an unlikely companion-Avram, a former friend and lover with a troubled past-and as they sleep out in the hills, Ora begins to conjure her son. Ofer???s story, as told by Ora, becomes a surprising balm both for her and for Avram-and a mother???s powerful meditation on war and family.
