the long version

"Joe Fortune, a Jewish GP, has been married to Anna for twenty years; they enjoy a passionate and happy relationship. But there are dark secrets in their lives. Joe has long nurtured a desire to murder Gordon, Anna's father: a motive born of past events and involving revenge, mutual hatred, and Gordon's deep prejudice against Joe's faith. Anna too is hiding deep, painful secrets. The reader is led back and forth over the last half century to discover love, lies, passion, religion, cruelty and violence. And while Joe is angry and resentful, Anna's quiet dignity discloses her own shocking revelation." -- BOOK JACKET
