Their affair is long over, but its echoes continue to reverberate through the lives of Joseph, Rebecca, and their sons in ways that none of them could have predicted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, for his fiftieth birthday, Joseph is preparing to have his five sons and the daughter-in-law he has never met spend the Sabbath with him in the Tel Aviv penthouse that he shares with a man, who is out of town that weekend. This will be the first time Joseph and all his sons will be together in nearly two decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe boys’ lives have taken widely varying paths. While some have become extremely religious, another is completely cosmopolitan and secular, and their feelings toward their father range from acceptance to bitter resentment. As they prepare for this reunion, Joseph, his sons, and even Rebecca, must confront what was, what is, and what could have been.\u003cb\u003eAwarded the 2009 Stonewall Prize for Fiction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the Publishing Triangle's 2008 Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Touching . . .
