Produktinformationen zu „Husband and Wife (ePub)“
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 World called "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." -Elle

Pressezitat
“Zeruya Shalev takes the reader on a breathtaking narrative journey through the hell of a crumbling marriage. . . . Written with a cool eye and a big heart, this is a love story for the twenty-first century.” —Das Buch der Woche (Germany)“Touching and persistent. . . . [Shalev] wastes no time plunging us into the mood and drama of her story. . . . What’s surprising about Husband and Wife is that the story is heavy but not slow or hopeless, and that Shalev can make us believe in the tenacity and goodness of these characters. . . . There is so much life in the writing, so much emotion, that the novel doesn’t bog down with the characters’ numbness.” —Jules Verdone, The Boston Globe
“[Shalev] writes in a feverish stream-of-consciousness that is meant to reflect her character’s inner turmoil. . . . A novel that aims to dissect the marriage bond in minute detail, with surgical precision.” —Sarah Coleman, San Francisco Chronicle
“Harrowingly thorough in its cataloguing of marital defeat.” —Donna Rifkind, The Baltimore Sun
