Situada en el Israel anterior a la Intifada, La novia liberada es la historia de una doble obsesión, de una desolada búsqueda en dos planos, el personal y el profesional. Yehoshúa dibuja en paralelo dos tramas protagonizadas por el profesor Yojanán Riblin, que intenta clarificar, por una parte, el porqué de la falta de integración entre árabes e israelíes y, por otra, el porqué del inesperado divorcio de su hijo mayor. Riblin se deja guiar por una alumna árabe israelí que lo conducirá a través del Israel de la minoría árabe, con el fin de descubrirle el alma secreta de su pueblo. Simultáneamente, se embarcará en una investigación, que lo lleva a realizar sorprendentes averiguaciones sobre la historia de la familia de su ex nuera. Gracias a esta estrategia que funde lo público con lo privado, Yehoshúa se entrega al trazado de un mundo con infinidad de matices y lleno de las complejidades propias de la vida en situaciones de máximo riesgo. Una novela que ha evocado Guerra y paz o Las mil y una noches.

First Sentence
"HAD HE KNOWN that on this evening, on the hill where the village held its celebrations, an evening suffused by the scent of a fig tree bent over the table like another, venerable guest, he would again be struck-but powerfully-by a sense of failure and missed opportunity, he might have more decisively made his excuses to Samaher, his annoyingly ambitious M.A. student, who, not content with sending him an invitation by mail and then repeating it to his face, had gone and chartered a minibus, after first urging the new department head to make sure the faculty attended her wedding."
Work Description
Yochanan Rivlin, a professor of Near Eastern Studies at Haifa University, is equally determined to understand the causes of the Algerian civil war of the 1990s and the mystery of his son's divorce. His is a double search for truth, each involving a different bride - Samaher, his own research assistant, an ambitious Arab newlywed from a village in the Galilee, and Galya, who deserted his son in Jerusalem with no explanation. Against his wife's better judgment (Hagit is a judge by profession), he explores relationships at once personal and political - man and wife, father and son, teacher and pupil, Israeli and Arab.
