I am Sonya, and this is the story of a day in late August. On this remarkable day I kissed a student, pursued a lover, found my father and left my brother.
'A Wall Of Light' is the third instalment in a trilogy. Edeet Ravel is an Israeli-born author, and the three books in this series are about life in Tel Aviv and the Occupied Territories.
Once more, she blends the personal and political so well that our understanding of each dimension is enlarged, though with this novel there is a focus on family rather than friends. In Ravel s inimitable style, none of her characters is permitted to grow without first dealing with and understanding personal pain and loss.
'A Wall Of Light' is a compassionate investigation of what it is to be fully human. It is also a divine celebration of love and hope. The publication of 'Look For Me' in 2004 won new fans for Ravel, author of the beautiful 'Ten Thousand Lovers'.
