Alona Kimchi arrived in Israel from Russia when she was six years old. An actress of stage and screen, as well as an acclaimed author, Alona's newest work of fiction, Lunar Eclipse is a collection of short stories.

"A young Russian immigrant suffers her stepfather's compulsions. A Tel Aviv journalist infects his lover with AIDS. An intelligent young woman relates her journey from Berlin to Ireland to an Israeli psychiatric hospital. A successful fashion photographer works between self-destructive bouts of bulimia. Each of the stories astounds you in its own particular way, exposing another kind of unhappiness or misery, yet they all have the added quality of acute, venomous humour and superb verbal brutality."
