About This Book

"An awkward, neurotic seller of rare books writes a desperate letter to a beautiful stranger whom he sees at a class reunion. This lonely attempt at seduction begins a love affair of words between Yair and Miriam, two married, middle-aged adults dissatisfied with their lives, yearning for the connection that has always eluded them - and, eventually, reawakened to feelings that they thought had passed them by.

Their correspondence unfolds into an exchange of their most naked confessions: of desire, joys, humiliations, and old sorrows." "Through the dialogue between Yair, a family man and surprisingly successful adulterer, whose complex, guarded letters reveal a life of secrets kept from the people closest to him, and Miriam, at first deceptively open and warm, who fills her life with distraction to avoid a past full of private tragedy, Be My Knife explores the nature and the limits of intimacy."--BOOK JACKET.
