The Same Sea

Description:

"Nadia Danon is dead, of cancer. Her widower, Albert, a tax accountant, comforted by his old friend and colleague Bettine, is trying to put his life back together. His son, Enrico, has gone off to lose or find himself in Tibet. The son's girlfriend, Dita, is a filmmaker back in Israel, where she is making friendly, daughterly overtures to Albert - his response is less platonic. Meanwhile, Dita has another lover - Giggy may be crass, but at least he's uncomplicated - and a passionate but mildly repellent film producer lusts after her too. Through these intersecting triangles of desire and love, theirs are the voices and the stories."--BOOK JACKET.
