“Oz conjures up a fairy story in which we may well recognize ourselves, our history and our nations . . . be prepared simply to be enchanted.” —The Guardian In a gray and gloomy village, all of the animals—from dogs and cats to fish and snails—disappeared years before. No one talks about it and no one knows why, though everyone agrees that the village has been cursed. But when two children see a fish—a tiny one and just for a second—they become determined to unravel the mystery of where the animals have gone. And so they travel into the depths of the forest with that mission in mind, terrified and hopeful about what they may encounter. From the internationally bestselling author Amos Oz, this is a hauntingly beautiful fable for both children and adults about tolerance, loneliness, denial, and remembrance. “In this swiftly moving fable, Oz creates palpable tension with a repetitive, almost hypnotic rhythm and lyrical language that twists a discussion-provoking morality tale into something much more enchanting.” —Booklist “Short, poetic, and haunting, the book operates on a plane of mystery somewhere between fable and fairy tale . . . The great beauty of this story is the rhythm and clarity of its evocative language.” —New York Journal of Books “From the whispered tales of a local monster to the brash, spunky heroes on a quest, internationally acclaimed Israeli author Oz litters his story with fairy-tale tropes that give this narrative a fable-like quality; the atmosphere is intriguingly secretive and shadowed, but the prose is measured and accessible and the length manageable.” —The Bulletin

When she tries to obtain an annulment from her drug crazed husband, it starts a sequence of events likened to an avalanche and totally beyond her control. It depicts the actual proceedings that transpire in this country where divorce and annulments are not looked upon favorably and the actions of a husband's attempts to keep his woman within matrimonial bounds. He plans to harm her physically, to leave her without money, to discredit and erode her character and he does this initially through a fabricated liaison with a very wealthy man. This falsely accused suitor soon becomes obsessed with her and he too begins a reign of abuse and terror on a very grand scale. The world becomes his playground and he uses psychological and physical abuse, inflicting terror in this woman's life. The events mostly take place in the Philippines where money is but one of the tools used as a weapon against a woman who tries to gain her freedom.
