"There are human riches here. The manager moves from a man who has given up on love to one who opens himself to it. And there are strange and powerful scenes - of the morgue, of the coffin, of the Soviet base where the manager passes through the purging of body and soul." (Carole Angier, The Independent) "Mr Yehoshua's A Woman in Jerusalem is a sad, warm, funny book about Israel and being Jewish, and one that has deep lessons to impart - for other people as well as his own." (The Economist) "This novel has about it the force and deceptive simplicity of a masterpiece..." (Claire Messud, The New York Times)"
