Scorpion Dance

Orion, a boy who lost his father in the Six-Day War, is raised by two women in Jerusalem's Old Katamon neighborhood. His journey is marked by the Holocaust's lingering wounds, the pain of his mother's abandonment, and the memory of his German grandmother, Johanna, who despises Germany. Orion's life changes when he meets his soul mate, a Berlin opera singer, forcing him to confront his past and individuality. Despite the presence of Sarah, a talking parrot, and Falada, a sentient library truck, Orion struggles with uncertainty and grief. The novel intertwines past and present, exploring survival and the balance between memory and forgetting.
