A Pigeon and a Boy by Meir Shalev

During Israel’s 1948 War of Independence, a young homing pigeon handler, in his final moments, sends off one last pigeon, bearing an unusual gift to his girlfriend. Intertwined is the contemporary story of a middle-aged tour guide who falls in love again with his childhood sweetheart and uncovers a secret connection to the bird handler.

Perhaps the masterwork of one of the greatest Hebrew writers of our time. (We will be reading it in English translation.)
