A Woman in Jerusalem

by A. B. Yehoshua

A Woman in Jerusalem

by A. B. Yehoshua

In Jerusalem, a horrific terrorist attack claims the lives of many, including a woman whose existence only comes to light in the wake of tragedy. Left nameless, her body remains in the morgue, and it's revealed she worked as a cleaner at a local bakery, but curiously, no employment records are found. As the media accuses the bakery of negligence, the owner, burdened by remorse, commissions a human resources manager to piece together her identity. As he delves into her past, he uncovers her life as an immigrant engineer, her spiritual journey to the city, and her unexpected beauty. This quest stirs within him a sense of regret and a yearning for redemption, transforming an investigation into an intimate human story. This narrative expertly weaves themes of guilt, humanity, and the quest for belonging, all set against the vibrant and complex backdrop of modern-day Israel.
