The book Amos Oz’s daughter wrote about his abuse of her as a child is causing shock waves, with many relating to it as the truth, not a literary work. It is a deceptive and unbalanced effort by an entitled person

Galia Oz, the daughter of the celebrated late Israeli author Amos Oz, has just released a heart-wrenching autobiographical account of the abuse she suffered from her father, throughout her life. It is currently out only in Hebrew, titled “Something Disguised as Love”. Galia Oz is known in Israel as an author of children’s books, and some have also been translated to English. But this one is a very serious adult account, the first of its kind from her hand.
Before I appraise Amos Oz the person (as I have done in the past), let me start out with an outline of the story that Galia Oz tells in her book (my translations).
