Clean Death in Tel Aviv

Blending mythology, poetry and a contemplative passion for self-knowledge, the heroics, tragedies and yearnings of the Zionist saga are exposed through one woman's desperate narrative-culminating in her dissolution, reflecting the realities that displaced utopian hopes.

"The author analyses herself and us with razor-sharp perspicacity, peering into the very essence of a woman's soul. The book offers a daring and courageous retrospective panorama."--"Dimui," Journal of Literature, Art and Criticism

"Using an inner monologue to examine the dark sides of ones soul, Elboim-Dror examines in her novel the selfhood of her tragic heroine, exploring deeply internal and external realities without retreating, posing a challenge to her readers."--"Iton 77," Literary Monthly.

"Ideological debates clashing with stubborn and difficult realities, the landscape, the colors and smells of the ancient virgin land, the social and family tribulations, suspicions and cooperation, fears and loves, resourcefulness and sacrifices and the naked raw sexuality."--"Hadoar," Hebrew bi-weekly, New York.
