I was hoping to really like this book since espionage and thriller are genres I enjoy reading, unfortunately that was not the case. I had issues with the translation of the book to English, there were a lot of grammar mistakes that made it hard to read and connect one chapter to the next one. Lost of editing problems with whole passages and even pages that were inconsequential to the plot of the story.
Maybe all this bad editing doesn't happen in the Hebrew publication of the book making it a more enjoyable experience for the reader.
I did think the story was an interesting one and makes you think what you will do if living the same situation that Bonnie is living, would you put country first or would family blood ties will be stronger?

this book really makes you question what was going on, the characters were great and I really enjoyed the mystery of what was happening with Bonnie.

A young Israeli woman goes to Greece for her henparty at the end of the 1970ties. One night she has a steamy exercise with a man from Persia whose name she never gets to know. When she finds out she is pregnant she tries to trace him to tell him he has a child but she never can.
The Persian drops out of studying medicine and becomes the leader of the Iranian "CIA" (and reminded me a lot of that general who was assassinated AFTER the books was published).
The son becomes a vet and later in life a cabinet minister in the Israeli government.

The book is written in a kind of narrator God perspective. Language-wise it comes of a bit old fashioned but that might be caused by translation or a different writing culture.

You really have to appreciate espionage for this novel as it is more about that then about the persons. After having been waiting for the confrontation I thought that a bit sterile. I had expected the main characters to spend more time thinking about enemies and family. It is a kind of Shakespeare play without the big drama.
