Forest dark : a novel
(Large Print)

In the wake of his parents' deaths, his divorce, and his retirement from a New York legal firm, Jules Epstein has felt an irresistible need to give away his possessions, alarming his children and perplexing the executor of his estate. He travels to Israel, with a nebulous plan to do something to honor his parents. In Tel Aviv he is sidetracked by a charismatic American rabbi planning a reunion for the descendants of King David. Meanwhile a young, well-known novelist arrives at the Tel Aviv Hilton, troubled by writer's block and a failing marriage. When she meets a retired literature professor who proposes a project she can't turn down, she's drawn into a mystery that alters her life in ways she could never have imagined.
