Publisher's Summary
Winner of the International Literature Prize, the new novel by Amos Oz is his first full-length work since the best-selling A Tale of Love and Darkness.
Jerusalem, 1959. Shmuel Ash, a biblical scholar, is adrift in his young life when he finds work as a caregiver for a brilliant but cantankerous old man named Gershom Wald. There is, however, a third, mysterious presence in his new home. Atalia Abravanel, the daughter of a deceased Zionist leader, a beautiful woman in her 40s, entrances young Shmuel even as she keeps him at a distance. Piece by piece, the old Jerusalem stone house, haunted by tragic history and now home to the three misfits and their intricate relationship, reveals its secrets. At once an exquisite love story and coming-of-age novel, an allegory for the state of Israel and for the biblical tale from which it draws its title, Judas is Amos Oz's most powerful novel in decades.

Good characters, little story, lots of descriptive
Great characters and intriguing promise of a deeper story but the plot was light and wrought with unnecessary descriptions. Still not quite sure what it was about. That said, very artistic writing and very well read.

Slow to start, but then it caught my interest.
At the beginning the prolonged descriptions were hard to keep up with, but once the plot develops I was caught. The ideas surrounding the establishment if the Israeli State are intriguing and a great starting point of discussion. I found the love story unnecessary, but probably a nice pretext for a deep philosophical analysis of political and religious matters
