MORE THAN I LOVE MY LIFE - DAVID GROSSMAN KARTO...

An epic  deeply moving novel about the power of love and loving with courage - from the Man
Booker International Prize-winning author of A Horse Walks into a Bar On a kibbutz in Israel in
2008  Gili is celebrating the ninetieth birthday of her grandmother Vera  the adored matriarch
of a sprawling and tight-knit family. But festivities are interrupted by the arrival of Nina:
the iron-willed daughter who rejected Vera's care  and the absent mother who abandoned Gili
when she was still a baby. Nina's return to the family after years of silence precipitates an
epic journey from Israel to the desolate island of Goli Otok  formerly part of Yugoslavia. It
was here  five decades earlier  that Vera was held and tortured as a political prisoner. And it
is here that the three women will finally come to terms with the terrible moral dilemma that
Vera faced  and that permanently altered the course of their lives. More Than I Love My Life is
a sweeping story about the power of love and loving with courage. A novel driven by faith in
humanity even in our darkest moments  it asks us to confront our deepest held beliefs about a
woman's duty to herself and to her children. 'Grossman's work resonates with emotional
intelligence  humanity and truth' Irish Times
