ooh
noice

some quotes I liked from the book:

"She actually believed in God?"
"Only when it suited her needs. She was one of those people who take God out like a handkerchief, to wipe away tears or sweat. Not a cloth hankie but a tissue, which afterward blows away in the wind."

"You really believe in this country?"
"What choice do I have?"

this made me feel smart. 
I really enjoyed how Zvi's memory loss progressed throughout the book, and at the end he doesn't remember where he lives or his own name.
