Novels
Zeruya Shalev's novels have been translated into more than 22 languages. In Germany she became known with the first volume of her romantic trilogy about modern love, love life . Here she describes the inner tensions of a young woman who falls in love with an older man, an acquaintance of her father's, and becomes dependent on him. After the novel, Maria Schrader and Laila Stieler wrote the script for the film of the same name, Love Life , which was released on November 8, 2007.
The breakdown of a marriage is described in man and woman . After many years of living together, the protagonist is surprisingly abandoned by her husband, sees this innovation as an opportunity and remains alone with her child for the time being.
The last volume of her trilogy, Late Family , deals with the failure of a marriage and the process of dramatic crises that ultimately open up the possibility of a “late family”.
