David Grossman

David Grossman, one of Israel's leading writers, talks about his new book To the End of the Land.

The novel is a moving plea for peace, told through the story of Ora, a mother who is agonising over her son's decision to re-enlist in the Israeli army; an experience sadly familiar to the author, who lost his own son Uri, to Israel's second war with Lebanon in 2006.
