About This Book

Acclaimed author Noa Weber has a successful "feminist" life: a strong career, a wonderful daughter she raised alone, and she is a recognized and respected cultural figure. Yet her interior life is bound by her obsessive love for one man--Alek, a Russian emigre and the father of her child, who has drifted in and out of her life. Trying to understand--as well as free herself from--this lifelong obsession, Noa turns her pen on herself, and with relentless honesty dissects her life. Against the evocative setting of turbulent, modernday Israel, this examination becomes a quest to transform irrational desire into a greater, transcendent understanding of love. "The Confessions of Noa Weber "introduces a startlingly talented writer in a rich tale that illuminates the desires, yearnings, and complexities of life in Israel.
