Amos Oz, the internationally prominent Israeli author, has a new best-seller that his publisher says has broken a record for book sales in Israel.
His latest novel, “To Know a Woman,” sold 45,000 copies since its initial appearance in book stores two weeks ago.
According to the publisher, Keter, no other book published in Israel ever sold that many copies in two weeks.
The reason may be obvious from the subject matter: sex and espionage.
