Amos Oz is the award-winning author of such books as Don't Call It Night, The Same Sea, and A Tale of Love and Darkness. In his new novel in stories, he tells of a fictional village in which everything is not as it seems--a digging sound keeps an old man up at night, a man's wife disappears leaving only a note, a singing party goes on during an air raid.
