The dwarves to help us not come

Israeli writer Sarah Shiloh until recently was known only as the author of books for children. But her first "adult" work, the novel "the Dwarves to help us not coming", has received very high praise from critics and readers and was awarded the prestigious literary prize Sapir. The novel is set in the border town in the North of Israel, whose residents are exposed to continuous attacks. At the dramatic center of the story - the life of a large family who lost their breadwinner. Every member of the family tries to cope with his grief, and the author very accurately reproduces their inner world through the polyphonic nature and originality of the language of each character.
