The Blue Mountain - Meir Shalev who returned to their homeland

who returned to their homeland after decades of exile

and a poignant exploration of the doomed pursuit of fame and glamour

as if sunk to the bottom of the ocean

and the loneliness and desperation of those who seek to follow their own path

She doesn't go to school and never leaves the flat by day
