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

From the winner of the International Booker Prize and one of the finest writers at work today 
an epic and deeply moving novel about the legacy of war and trauma on three generations of
women On a kibbutz in Israel in 2008  Gili  along with the entire community  is celebrating the
90th birthday of her grandmother Vera  the adored matriarch of a sprawling and tight-knit
family. Onto the scene enters 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 the gripping  heart-wrenching story that unfolds  in which mother
daughter and grandmother are forced to confront the past head-on. Together with Rafael - father
to Gili  lover to Nina and step-son to Vera - the three women embark on an epic journey 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 grand-scale and
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.
