"From the internationally acclaimed author of A Woman in Jerusalem, a novel about a musician who returns home and finds the rhythm of her life interrupted and forever changed Noga, 42, a divorcee from Jerusalem, is a harpist with an orchestra in the Netherlands. When her father dies suddenly, she is summoned home by her brother to help make decisions in urgent family and personal matters, among them whether to keep a rent-controlled apartment even as they are placing their reluctant mother in an assisted-living facility, and facing her former husband -- with whom she would have no children -- who still loves her passionately despite being remarried with two children. During her imposed three-month residence in Jerusalem, Noga's brother finds her work playing an extra in movies, television, and opera. These new identities undermine the firm boundaries of behavior heretofore protected by the music she plays and Noga, always an extra in someone els's story, takes charge of the plot. Yehoshua at his liveliest storytelling best, a bravura performance."--… (lisätietoja)

Quando il libro esce, lo scrittore non esiste piu. Il libro è vostro e sta a voi creare un rapporto pofondo con lui, senza l'interferenza dello scrittore.....

A.B. Yehoshua is a masterful writer, whose stories, however, I often find hit or miss. I really liked this one. Usually, there is not a lot of action in his books, but he always gets inside people's heads, and I really came to care about Noga. This book is full of warmth and humor, conveying great respect for its characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yehoshua is a rare Israeli, having been born in Jerusalem (in 1936) to a fifth generation, scholarly, Sephardic Jewish family. Having had the fortunate opportunity some years ago to attend a lecture and to meet with the author over the course of a week in Jerusalem, I know that he is insightful, intensely curious about the way everyone thinks, and much concerned about the state of humanity. His psychological insights have been reinforced by his wife, Rivka, who was a psychotherapist (deceased, 2016). His outspoken, left-wing views and his peace activism have made him unpopular in some circles, and I'm sure he must be extremely disappointed by the state of the world today and especially concerned about the future of his homeland.

La scrittura è fluida e il mestiere di Yehoshua rende il libro leggibile anche se certamente non all’altezza delle sue opere migliori. Anzi, siamo decisamente al di sotto della media. La storia non accende l’interesse e Noga, la protagonista che si muove tra Israele, Olanda e Giappone, ancorché definita nella quarta di copertina “uno dei più potenti e sfaccettati ritratti di donna degli ultimi anni” non è assolutamente una figura ben delineata né dal comportamento decifrabile. Non ha voluto figli e io, alla fine, non ho capito perché. Intendiamoci, una donna può benissimo non volere figli e non doversi giustificare per questo con nessuno. Ma visto che tutto il libro sembra ruotare intorno a questo rifiuto una spiegazione in questo caso parrebbe necessaria. Altrimenti perché scriverci un libro? E non si capisce perché altri (la madre, un ex-marito che ormai ha una nuova moglie e due figli) devono cercare di smuoverla dalla sua decisione e non vengono da lei trattati come sarebbe opportuno. Tutto il resto, l’alternativa Gerusalemme/Tel Aviv, casa di riposo si/no, Israele/Europa, è un contorno insipido che rende la storia ancora più sconclusionata. ( )

Bel romanzo, anche se la fine lascia un po' lì. E' meglio dei precedenti due romanzi di Yehoshua, che torna nella sua terra per il 90% del romanzo e che (forse per questo motivo) scrive benissimo: velocità, personaggi, scansione...tutto perfetto.
Peccato per il finale, che non è il finale atteso, e forse non è neanche un finale logico, da inserirsi nel contesto.
Ma è il solito bellissimo libro di Yehoshua. Chissà se arriverà mai al Nobel... ( )
