An Israeli couple’s emotional struggle in the early days of the Yom Kippur War
Amalia and Daniel find their lives thrown into utter chaos when the Yom Kippur War breaks out in October 1973.

A badly injured, unidentified solider captures her attention, and she fights to keep him alive as her husband, an undercover intelligence officer, pursues his own mission on the front lines in the Egyptian campaign.
The juxtaposition of Amalia’s life as a civilian doing her best to contribute to the war effort with her husband’s dangerous search for an intelligence operative behind enemy lines illustrates both the mundaneness and the menace of war. In this somber, touching, and reflective novel, Yaël Dayan compellingly depicts the strength and survival of one couple’s marital bond under the most harrowing and heartbreaking of circumstances.

Three Weeks in October A Novel eBook Yaël Dayan Reviews
Astute and interesting views from many angles of war that is a reflection of this Age. Life goes on but we all play our parts. Best of all, making sense out of the senseless, our individual duty as survivors. The fortunate actually forge purpose and meaning.
I was surprised at how good this novel is. Yael Dayan tells a story of the first three weeks during the Yom Kippur War in October 1973. The two major parts of the work focus on a wife and husband, a couple with two children, the wife of whom volunteers during the war in a hospital burns unit- the husband who at the end of the war goes down to the Southern Front and is involved in the last fighting of the war in Suez City where he is wounded.
The work is very good in describing Israeli attitudes and habits of thoughts during that time. It has a credible cast of characters including a mysterious figure one who is mortally wounded and eventually succumbs in the burns unit- and who in the second part of the work the 'husband' looks for in Suez City when he is already not there.
The book also tells the story of the relation between the husband and wife- and of a love affair the wife had when unmarried in which her lover was killed in an earlier war.
The book is written with real perceptiveness, with a strong understanding not only of Israel mentality but of the complexity of human life and its relations.
One of the things which most struck me was the pervasive Israeli sense of the need to do one's duty to one's country, the sense that Israel was forced into wars it did not want.
The picture of Israel and its people as presenting a certain kind of 'ein breira ' consensus is appealing.
Again this is a very good novel, and still very insightful in explaining what the state of Israel is all about.
What an intense story about the bravery and faith of the Israeli people. Another war and the casualties that result. The hope and longing that the entire country prays for just to be able to live a quiet life. Will the Israelis ever know real peace and security? May Hashem hear our prayers for the peace of Jerusalem and the land of the Jewish people.
