Dolls

A famous Israeli feminist scientist has been murdered. Once, she proposed the theory that biblical women who had no children had actually voluntarily chosen to forgo motherhood. She was also one of the Others — a group of four friends who pledged never to have children while still at university. Her death cannot be disconnected from her views: the killer carved the word «mother» on the victim's forehead and placed a doll of a baby in her hands. Her former best friend and one of the Others finds herself at the center of the investigation. Is she the main suspect or the next victim?

A detective story by contemporary Israeli writer Sarah Blau is a gripping and darkly humorous thriller that, while remaining within the genre, addresses issues of modern society closely tied to ancient history.
