From the Israeli author of
Love Life: "a highly polished and... beautifully written story that carries great weights of meaning" (
Kirkus Reviews).
Zeruya Shalev achieved international literary stardom with her novel
Love Life,which
The Washington Post Book Worldcalled "a brutally honest and often brilliant tour of individual and family psychology." In
Husband and Wife,she takes us into the heartbreak and compromise of a diseased marriage that may or may not be capable of healing.
Na'ama and Udi Newman, together with their young daughter Noga, lead a quiet domestic life. But their idyll abruptly ends when Udi-a perfectly healthy man-wakes up one morning unable to move his legs. The doctors can find no physical explanation for his paralysis. It appears to be a symptom, not of illness, but of something far more insidious. This mysterious disruption soon reveals a vicious cycle of jealousy, paranoia, resentment, and accumulated injuries that now threaten to tear their small family apart.
In a rush of hallucinogenic imagery,
Husband and Wife captures the vulnerability and deceptive comforts of lives intertwined, offering "an acutely intimate portrait of a relationship" (Donna Rifkind,
The Baltimore Sun).
"Nearly impossible to look away from." -
