500 "Originally published in Hebrew as Gader ḥayah (Tel Aviv :
ʻAm ʻoved, 2014)"--Title page verso
520 "A controversial, award-winning story about the passionate
but untenable affair between an Israeli woman and a
Palestinian man, from one of Israel's most acclaimed
novelists. When Liat meets Hilmi on a blustery autumn
afternoon in Greenwich Village, she finds herself
unwillingly drawn to him. Charismatic and handsome, Hilmi
is a talented young artist from Palestine. Liat, an
aspiring translation student, plans to return to Israel
the following summer. Despite knowing that their love can
be only temporary, that it can exist only away from their
conflicted homeland, Liat lets herself be enraptured by
Hilmi: by his lively imagination, by his beautiful hands
and wise eyes, by his sweetness and devotion. Together
they explore the city, sharing laughs and fantasies and
pangs of homesickness. But the unfettered joy they awaken
in each other cannot overcome the guilt Liat feels for
hiding him from her family in Israel and her Jewish
friends in New York. As her departure date looms and her
love for Hilmi deepens, Liat must decide whether she is
willing to risk alienating her family, her community, and
her sense of self for the love of one man. Banned from
classrooms by Israel's Ministry of Education, Dorit
Rabinyan's remarkable novel contains multitudes. A bold
portrayal of the strains -- and delights -- of a forbidden
relationship, All the Rivers (published in Israel as
Borderlife) is a love story and a war story, a New York
story and a Middle East story, an unflinching foray into
the forces that bind us and divide us. "The land is the
same land," Hilmi reminds Liat. "In the end all the rivers
flow into the same sea." International praise for All the
Rivers : "I'm with Dorit Rabinyan. Love, not hate, will
save us. Hatred sows hatred, but love can break down
barriers."--Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the Nobel Prize
for Literature "Even the (asymmetrical) tragedy of the two
peoples does not overwhelm this precise and elegant love
story, drawn with the finest of lines. There are many
astonishing things about this book."--Amos Oz "Rabinyan is
a generous writer who puts her characters first.
Rabinyan's writing reflects the honesty and modesty of a
true artisan."--Ha'aretz "Rabinyan juggles cultures,
languages, art forms, places, times, and seasons. Because
the novel strikes the right balance between the personal
and the political, and because of her ability to tell a
suspenseful and satisfying story, we decided to award
Dorit Rabinyan's [All the Rivers] the 2015 Bernstein
Prize."--the 2015 Bernstein Prize judges' decision "[All
the Rivers] ought to be read like J.M. Coetzee or Toni
Morrison -- from a distance in order to get close. We
might be born Montague or Capulet, but we can choose not
to be part of the tragedy."--Walla! "Beautiful and
sensitive, a human tale of rapprochement and separation. a
noteworthy human and literary achievement."--Makor Rishon
"A captivating (and heartbreaking) gem, written in a
spectacular style, with a rich, flowing, colorful and
addictive language."--Motke "Rabinyan's ability to create
a rich realism alongside a firm, clear and convincing flow
of emotional fluctuations. gives the work a literary
momentum and makes the reading both compelling and
enjoyable."--Ynet "A great novel of love and peace."--La
Stampa "A novel that truly speaks to the heart."--Corriere
della Sera"--|cProvided by publisher
520 "One day, in the cold of early New York winter, a chance
encounter brings two strangers together: Hilmi, a
Palestinian born in Hebron, and an Israeli woman called
Liat. A promising young translator, Liat plans to study in
New York for six months and then return home to Tel Aviv.
Immediately drawn to the charismatic, passionate, and kind
Hilmi, Liat decides that their connection will be -- can
only be -- an affair, a short-lived but intense memento of
her frozen winter away from home. But their passionate
fling deepens into love, and Liat and Hilmi find
themselves caught between their desire for each other and
their duties to their families; between the possibility of
creating a life together and the fear that Israelis and
Palestinians are supposed to be enemies. And as the weeks
and days slip by, Liat and Hilmi must decide whether their
love is worth risking the disapproval of their families,
their friends and even their government. Written by one of
Israel's most acclaimed contemporary authors, All The
Rivers is a powerful, deeply intimate Romeo and Juliet
story for our times"--|cProvided by publisher
