During Jewish Book Week, Chochana Boukhobza will be at the French Institute to talk about her moving novel,The Third Day.

The Book

In The Third Day, two cellists travel to Jerusalem for a concert. For Elisheva, this is above all an appointment with her past and the nightmares of the camps; for Rachel, her gifted pupil, the return home forces her to face the difficult choices she has made.

Boukhobza talks about her gripping thriller set in the late 1980s, in a rich multicultural Israel fraught with tension.
