Over the last seven years Etgar Keret has had plenty of reasons to worry. His son, Lev, was born in the middle of a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. His father became ill. And he has been constantly tormented by nightmarish visions of the Iranian president Ahmadinejad, anti-Semitic remarks both real and imagined, and, perhaps most worrisome of all, a dogged telemarketer who seems likely to chase him to the grave. Emerging from these darkly absurd circumstances is a series of funny, tender ruminations on everything from his three-year-old son's impending military service to the terrorist mindset behind Angry Birds. Moving deftly between the personal and the political, the playful and the profound, The Seven Good Years takes a life-affirming look at the human need to find good in the least likely places, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our capricious world.

Mr. Gregory P. Solomon

I light and funny read.

Reviewed in Australia on 5 December 2015

I light hearted read to put a smile on the face and a few chuckles to go with it. A good easy read for something different. Will certainly be looking for another book by this author for a comparison.

The best stories you could ever fear

It had me laughing, crying and feeling as if I was in his world. When I reached the end I thought ‘no, don’t finish now!’ A wonderful journey to be part of. Thank you.

Moving, funny, beautiful. A book to savour for the spareness of its writing. How wonderful to be invited to walk with Keret and his family, sharing just a little in their laughter, tears, terror, empathy, and most of all, love.

Marvellous. If only it never stopped! Etgar please continue. Was it my imagination or were most small parts played by someone called Gilad?

I liked the book as I have visited Israel and can relate to the characters. An insight into a Jewish mindset.
