The novel then moves forward to 2000. The setting is a long walk that Ora and Avram takethrough northern Israel. The stories told in the course of it piece together what has happenedin the intervening years. There has been a lot of damage. The fever has taken its toll. Avramhas never recovered from imprisonment and torture in the Yom Kippur war. Ilan s and Ora smarriage has broken up. Ora can no longer bear the burden of living in a country thatrequires all its citizens to be soldiers. She feels that a military state has destroyed the familyshe has so lovingly and painfully brought to life.

　　随后，小说情节推进到了2000年。背景是奥拉和埃弗拉姆徒步穿越以色列北部。在穿越途中，小说讲述了他们仨人数十年间经历的零零种种。途中艰难险阻不断。发热症也逐渐产生。埃弗拉姆在赎罪日战争中受到关押和折磨，症状再不能消除了。依蓝和奥拉的婚姻破裂。奥拉再不能忍受生活之重生活在要求人人皆兵的国家。她感到，这个好战之国毁了她的家，毁了她如此热爱且艰辛付出的家。

　　Their walk is a pilgrimage of sorts. Ora tells Avram the story of her life. She wants to bringhim to a state where he can acknowledge that one of her two sons is his and not Ilan sandhe can come to love the boy, now a serving soldier. Their capacity to listen to each othermight be a form of therapy; or it might not. Nothing is made explicit.
