Translated from Hebrew by Sylvie Cohen International reception: “A Woman Running Away from the Announcement is a book of extraordinary power and intensity; it is David Grossman’s masterpiece. Flaubert created his Emma, ​​Tolstoy his Anna, and now Grossman has his Ora—a fully alive, perfectly embodied being. I devoured this long novel in a kind of feverish trance. Stunning, magnificent, unforgettable.” Paul Auster “Among all the writers I have read, David Grossman is undoubtedly the most gifted. Gifted, not only because of his imagination, his energy, his originality, but because he accesses what is truly inexpressible, because he knows how to read inside a being and discover the singular essence of their humanity.” Nicole Krauss “A book of abundant richness, full of anguish and dire omens, but also full of an ancestral life force. Grossman penetrates the depths of his characters' souls and breathes life into them.” The Republic "David Grossman perfectly evokes passionate love and sensuality, male friendship, and the delicate nuances of everyday life in a country weakened by violence and fear." The World EAN: 9782021004625 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
