The extra
Yehoshua, Abraham B.2016
Book
An experiment is under way in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem: a woman, recently widowed, is starting a trial period in assisted living, mainly to placate her over-anxious son, whilst in Jerusalem her daughter Noga, a young harpist, returns from her job with a Dutch orchestra to look after the family apartment. To enliven her stay, Noga's brother finds work for her - playing roles as an extra in film, TV and in the opera Carmen. However, the random roles Noga is thrust into resonate strangely with her own life which she begins to re-evaluate.
