Soumchi by Amos Oz

Soumchi by Amos Oz

When Soumchi, an eleven-year-old boy growing up in British-occupied Jerusalem just after World War II, receives a bicycle as a gift from his Uncle, he is overjoyed - even if it is a girl's bicycle. Ignoring the taunts of other boys in his neighborhood, he dreams of riding far away from them, out of the city towards the heart of Africa.

A lavishly gifted writer * New York Times *
There is no novelist writing today who catches the feeling of the moment more surely than Amos Oz * Scotsman *
Here is a writer unafraid of displaying the full spectrum of emotions, and a writer – be it noted – who actually seems to have some faith left in the future * Guardian *
