在这本独特的小说中，作家Galit Dahan Carlibach将她的女主角以及她的文字带到做边缘——到一个没有法律或规则的地方。
故事设在耶路撒冷，一位年轻的地质学家Jessica来到一家暗淡的酒吧，希望可以借酒浇愁 。她的人生在她眼前完全摧毁：她最爱的祖母刚去世、她无可预测的母亲将她赶出家门、她的爱情生活也让她完全失望。Jessica的悲伤穿透了她的身体，她感到无比的伤痛，只有透过研究历史留下的沉滓以及化石来解放自己。但是，这一切都没有用，所以她才来到这家酒吧利用酒精来麻醉她的心。
结果，一位散发吸引力以及磁性的男子Arell走进这家酒吧。Arell专门拯救在街上当乞丐的孩子，让Jessica立刻迷上他，更跟随他到朱迪亚沙漠。这个沙漠唤起许多旧回忆以及古老的引诱，Jessica找到了自己，却又很有可能让自己陷入一个危险的密谋。她发现这里跟地质学一样，表面上的有时候跟深藏在底下的完全不一样，而她必须选择拯救自己。本书利用了经典的哥德式写法，拥有有点恐怖，又非常有冒险的故事。

"How many Hebrew books have this kind of wildness, madness, messianism, and sex? If Galit Dahan Carlibach has shown the courage to write such a book, where the heroine is a mousy geologist swept into a cult in the Judean Desert, certainly that book is worth your reading." Mako website - The year’s book choices "You’re invited up on a dizzying flight named Galit Dahan Carlibach." Tslil Avraham, Yedioth Ahronoth [The most popular daily newspaper] "Edgetown is the second novel for this young author, who deserves attention with her wildness and power. This novel is the story of a young geologist who enters the desert to follow the man in charge of a group of estranged youngsters." Maya Sala, Haaretz - List of the year’s recommended books "Dahan Carlibach’s mastery of the Jewish sources, her verbal skill, her acrobatic sounds, her creative and intensive use of the five senses plus the sense of humor — all these regally govern the book from start to finish, through all its twists. Comic talent is combined with psychological depth, and an impressive ability to write as if from inside an unhinged consciousness is matched with a lucid and devilish humor." Tsir Ehrlich, Makor Rishon [Popular newspaper] "Dahan Carlibach takes a different approach, which could be called wild, impish, charming and changeable, distinguishing her from the other writers of her generation." Amihai Shalev, Moznaim [Literay Magazin] |
