About the book
Tel Aviv, this year. Noa Amzaleg is twenty-six, broke and unqualified, with a perfect ear for what a stranger needs to hear. A friend puts her name forward and a man on the nineteenth floor of a tower in Ramat Gan talks to her for eleven minutes and offers her a job. Upstairs it is a start-up with plants and a gong; downstairs it is a room with no windows that takes the savings of retired people in five languages. She is very good at it. Her father is a district court judge who has never taken anything from anyone, and the only question the book asks is what her warmth was hired for.
