Eshkol Nevo ; translated from the Hebrew by Sondra Silverston

In an upper-middle-class Tel Aviv apartment building, the residents face turmoils, secrets, unreliable confessions, and decisions. On the first floor, Arnon, a tormented retired officer who fought in the First Intifada, confesses to an army friend with a troubled military past how his obsession about his young daughter's safety led him to lose control and put his marriage in peril. Above him lives Hani, whose husband travels the world for his lucrative job while she stays at home with their two children, increasingly isolated and unstable. On the top floor lives a former judge, Devora, who joins a social movement, desperately tries to reconnect with her estranged son, and falls in love with a man who isn't what he seems
