Synopses & Reviews
Continuing her narration of the story of the Patriarchs in the Book of Genesis, After These Things recounts the relationship between Abrahams tragic son Isaac and Isaacs son Jacob. In following the psychological trail of the children of Abraham, the first properly constituted family, we discover all the complexities of love, power, and desire that make them so quintessentially human. Jenny Diski is the author of eight novels and two memoirs: Skating to Antarctica and Stranger on a Train.

Review
“A searching narrative of considerable modern passion.” —The Guardian
