Though married, she has encounters with two men, one a Christian Jew from Iran, who tries clumsily to make love to her and whom she rejects, and another, Uri, an Israeli engineer who fascinates her because of his aura of remoteness and mystery.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"sm_text\" style=\"text-align: left\">Arid, alien, harshly beautiful, barely populated, the landscape is an all-pervading primordial presence throughout the book. Powerful shifting images of the ferocious sun, the mountains, the heavy stars at night, the brilliantly transparent water, the untrammeled coral reefs, the empty stone beach, even the shabby hotel and the lone nightclub mask and disclose the changing states of Helen\u2019s consciousness.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"sm_text\" style=\"text-align: left\">This novel is not the Israel of politics and religion. It is the Israel of the desert that borders the Red Sea, awesome and primitive in 1965, as one might imagine it has always been.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Luna Tarlo <\/strong>is the author of the memoir, \u201cThe Mother of God,\u201d published by\u00a0<em>Plover Press<\/em>.
