The Hill of Evil Counsel

The Hill of Evil Counsel by Amos Oz

Sensuous prose and indelible imagery. -- New York TimesThree stories in which history and imagination intertwine to re-create the world of Jerusalem during the last days of the British Mandate. Refugees drawn to Jerusalem in search of safety are confronted by activists relentlessly preparing for an uprising, oblivious to the risks. Meanwhile, a wife abandons her husband, and a dying man longs for his departed lover. Among these characters lives a boy named Uri, a friend and confidant of several conspirators who love and humor him as he weaves in and out of all three stories. The Hill of Evil Counsel is as complex, vivid, and uncompromising as Jerusalem itself (Nation).
