About the book
Thirst: The Desert Trilogy contains three of Shulamith Hareven's greatest works, The Miracle Hater, Prophet, and After Childhood. This volume, which includes the first English translation of After Childhood, is also the first presentation of the trilogy in its entirety. Each of the novellas explores the relationship of the individual between God and society. Hareven writes with great sympathy of the outsider, the rebel, as she explores with subtlety and depth how individuals learn to relate to nature, to society, and especially to the divine. In Thirst Hareven achieves her greatest work, bringing vivid drama, characterization, and emotion into high relief against a unique and unforgettable desert backdrop.
First sentence: They kept leaving all the time.
