Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of archaeology and personal history, the narrative intertwines the lives of Orit Nussbaum, a young Israeli archaeologist, and Hammama Madmoni, a Yemeni Jewish immigrant. As Orit grapples with her responsibilities to a Holocaust-survivor mother and the patriarchal constraints of her field, she also experiences visions of ancient lives that resonate with her own struggles. The story explores themes of identity, loss, and the impact of historical trauma on contemporary lives, all while Orit navigates her academic journey and personal revelations.
