‘In this marvellous book, Raphaël Jerusalmy shows us that, despite the madness of men, a few beautiful spirits, angel-poets, will always remain.’ Le Monde
Naor, a young filmmaker, is driving with his mother. He tells her about being in Tel Aviv after a recent evacuation.
Everyone else has fled, except for Naor and Yaël, his artist girlfriend, and Saba, his grandfather, a writer. The occasional missile explodes nearby. But Saba refuses to leave the place he loves. And Yaël has her own secret aspirations.
In defiance of the war, they scavenge an existence and explore the mysteries of their beloved city—until the unthinkable happens.
In Evacuation—a novel of suspense; a profound tale about our choices under pressure; about love, for each other and for a place; about death; and about finding a way to peace—Raphaël Jerusalmy is at the height of his powers.
