[An] indelible memoir

PRAISE FOR AMOS OZ
A commanding artist who ranks with the most important writers of our time.-Cynthia Ozick

PRAISE FOR THE SAME SEA
Impressive and moving . . . Oz tells the story of ordinary people in an extraordinary manner . . . Literature that is both spiritually moving and secularly provocative.-Los Angeles Times Book Review

Touching, haunting, wrenching, amusing, and sometimes downright hilarious...the best book Oz has ever written
