To Know A Woman [Paperback] Oz, Amos

A former Israeli intelligence officer retires to suburban Tel Aviv after his wife's sudden death, taking up the quiet, domestic rhythms he once thought beneath him—grocery shopping, caring for his mother-in-law and teenage daughter, tending the house. But grief and solitude reshape him. As he learns to inhabit his wife's world, he begins questioning the life he led in the shadows: the secrets kept, the distance maintained, the cost of a career built on suspicion. Amos Oz writes with his signature psychological precision, turning an espionage veteran's midlife reckoning into a meditation on love, loss, and what it means to truly see another person. Quiet, melancholic, and deeply humane—this is for readers who savour introspective fiction where the internal landscape matters more than the plot.
