The Same Sea Summary

The Same Sea by Amos Oz

'In a world full of hype, noise, and confusion, the simple lucidity of The Same Sea is totally unexpected' New York Times

An intimate, everyday tale of unrequited love and grief


Nadia is dead. Her widower, Albert, comforted by his old friend Bettine, is trying to put his life back together. His son, Enrico, has gone to find himself in Tibet. Enrico's girlfriend, Dita, is being friendly and daughterly to Albert - but his responses are less platonic. Meanwhile, Dita has another lover, and a slightly repellent film producer lusts after her too.

Through these intersecting triangles of desire and loss comes a novel that is surprising, heart-breaking, funny, poetic and simply unmissable.

The Same Sea Reviews

Comic, tragic, erotic and elegiac. His finest work * Mail on Sunday *
Touching and comic... Magical * Scotsman *
A poetic novel of love, family and loss... A work so exquisitely written, so diamond-clear, that critics are already hailing it as Oz's finest work... A writer of revelatory genius * Guardian *
Beautiful and profoundly wise. Very few works of fiction are written with such economy, simplicity and precision that a reviewer simply wants to quote from them... The Same Sea is such a book. Amos Oz has created an unforgettable work of art * Daily Telegraph *
A cleansing, poetic, meditative and moving novel * Herald *
