No current Talk conversations about this book. את "המנון לשמחה" קראתי פעמיים: פעם בזמני הפנוי ופעם לצורכי לימודים במסגרת קורס בנושא הפרעה פוסט-טראומטית. הספר מגולל את סיפורה של יעל שלרוע מזלה נגזר עליה להיות עדה לפיגוע בירושלים בסביבות 2002. הפיגוע גורם לה לחרדות ולדכאון והרבה תחומים בחיים שלה נפגעים אם כתוצאה מכך, ואם בגלל שהאירוע רק היווה את הטריגר: נישואים מתפרקים, היא מתאהבת בגבר חדש, היא מתקשה לטפל בבנה ומתקשה להתרכז בלימודיה ובעבודתה. מאוד אהבתי את הכתיבה של שפרה הורן ובהחלט אשמח לקרוא עוד ספרים שלה.

Following a terrorist explosion on a bus in Jerusalem, Yael, a married mother who narrowly escaped the attack, is haunted by the last image she recalls before the horror: a little blonde child waving to her from the window of the bus, and the sound of Beethoven's Ode to Joy, which was playing on her car radio. Yael's husband, Nachum, seems unable, or unwilling to understand what she has been through, and although her friends and colleagues are sympathetic, they cannot share her pain. Still traumatised, she feels compelled to seek out the blonde child's grieving father, the enigmatic and mysterious Avshalom. Drawn to him through their mutual suffering and fascinated by his unusual background, Yael begins to fall helplessly in love with him. Avshalom too, cannot deny his own feelings, but his belief that the loss of his wife and child is divine punishment for past sins overshadows any glimmer of hope for their future.
