An Israeli professor and an Arab student join forces in a witty novel that tells a simple story about a region that complicates all it touches (The New Yorker). Yochanan Rivlin, a professor at Haifa University, is a man of boundless and often naïve curiosity. His wife, Hagit, a district judge, is tolerant of almost everything but her husbands faults and prevarications. Frequent arguments aside, they are a well-adjusted couple with two grown sons. When one of Rivlins studentsa young Arab bride from a village in the Galileeis assigned to help with his research in recent Algerian history, a two-pronged mystery develops. As they probe the causes of the bloody Algerian civil war, Rivlin also becomes obsessed with his sons failed marriage. Rivlins search leads to a number of improbable escapades.
