Fanny & Gabriel (Hebrew)

A love story this improbable has to be true. Gabriel first set eyes on Fanny in the summer of 1914, but before the ink had dried on their engagement agreement he found himself at the front of the Great War, while Fanny waited for him faithfully, like Penelope for her Odysseus.

From then until the day they died, the two circled each other, colliding, clinging, parting and coming together again. Their turbulent bond swung back and forth across the 20th century as the couple split between Zionist Israel and diaspora America, until fate reunited them. Their love was its own greatest enemy, and yet it survived. Nava Semel's final novel is based on the true story of her own grandparents.
