Sullo sfondo di una Haifa scossa dalla guerra del 1973, si dipana lo scenario de L'amante, il più sinceramente israeliano dei romanzi di Yehoshua. L'autore si affida alle voci dei suoi personaggi, ai loro sogni, ai ricordi, ai desideri, alle aspettative: sono le parole di Adam, agiato proprietario di una grande officina meccanica; le riflessioni della figlia Dafi, quindicenne insonne e ribelle; i sogni della moglie Asya, intellettuale precocemente ingrigita; gli stupori di Na'im, giovane operaio arabo; i vaneggiamenti della novantenne Vaduccia.

Una vela lascia la luminosa Tangeri per risalire la costa atlantica d'Europa e inoltrarsi sulla Senna verso Parigi, gelido borgo sperduto fra oscure contrade. Siamo nell'estate del 999, nel cuore di un continente selvaggio e in fermento per l'approssimarsi del fatidico Anno Mille. Due realtà inconciliabili - la solare sensualità del Sud e l'austero rigore europeo - vengono a conflitto, incarnandosi in due diversi codici di comportamento all'interno di una fede comune.

Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere.

Il libro raccoglie tutti i racconti scritti da Yehoshua: dodici storie pervase da atmosfere surreali, nelle quali i personaggi si muovono in bilico tra sogno e realtà, preda di un disagio che si trasforma in stanchezza, in un bisogno incontrollato di dormire. Sono dei perdenti, gli «eroi» di Yehoshua; uomini stanchi, incapaci di raggiungere i propri scopi, privi di certezze. Nemmeno i sentimenti sono un'ancora di salvezza, gli equilibri familiari sono fragili, gli amori disillusi.
