Summary:
"A
woman
in her forties is a victim of a suicide bombing at a
Jerusalem
market. Her body lies nameless in a hospital morgue. She had apparently worked as a cleaning
woman
at a bakery, but there is no record of her employment. When a
Jerusalem
daily accuses the bakery of "gross negligence and inhumanity toward an employee," the bakery's owner, overwhelmed by guilt, entrusts the task of identifying and burying the victim to a human resources man. This man is at first reluctant to take on the job, but as the facts of the
woman
's life take shape--she was an engineer from the former Soviet Union, a non-Jew on a religious pilgrimage to
Jerusalem
, and, judging by an early photograph, beautiful--he yields to feelings of regret, atonement, and even love."--Publisher.
