Rafi and Dimitri have been friends for a quarter century. Now they love the same woman. But it's not that simple.

Rafi, a child of the Israeli socialist kibbutz, tries to make meaning of a life without Socialism when the Soviet Union implodes. Rafi's journey is a deep exploration of his soul and search for a soulmate. but his kibbutz training leaves him clumsy and unconfident around women. Dimitri, the child of parents who escaped Soviet Socialism, met Rafi on the Kibbutz because a fellowship to Israel was the quickest route out of the clutches of immigrant culture. Both become musicians. Both become teachers. As deep as Rafi is, that's how shallow his friend is. Opposites attract. Then, 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq happen. A Biblical outcome affects their careers.

Enter Frida, who can't fill the hole left when her mother abandoned the family for the bright lights of Cozumel, no matter how successful (or drunk) she gets. Now a personal disaster sends Frida's life crashing from of its precarious perch, and off she runs to the great El Norte to drink herself to death out of sight of her son. When she lands in the lives of the two men, one will claim the broken trophy - and will either man save Frida from herself? The big question, the nature of love itself, spreads over the bewildering changes brought on since the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. Love and History buy front-row seats in this character-driven, 89,000-word drama. ...........................................................................................................................
