When she gives birth to Zayde, all three suitors consider him their son, and Zayde, who tragically loses Judith, imbibes their triple wisdom and their distinct versions of his origins. As Zayde pieces together the beguiling story of the singular woman who was his mother, Meir Shalev weaves a magical novel of the joys and secrets of village life, of an unconventional family, and the unexpected fruits of love.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of Israel's most celebrated novelists, \u003cb\u003eMEIR SHALEV \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in 1948 on Nahalal, Israel's first moshav.
