Ella Miller is a 36-year-old archaeologist studying one of the largest volcanic blasts in history, the famous Thera eruption. She develops a novel theory that the devastating blast sparked the biblical ten plagues, which led to the liberation of the Israelites from Egypt. Like her research subject, Ella's life is undergoing tectonic shifts. Her marriage to her former mentor, the needy and brutish Amnon, has come to an end. Her relationships with her intellectually towering father and his servile wife are unbearable. Her young son, Gili, swings wildly from adaptability to despair. Her new lover must face up to his own recently destroyed marriage. Ella seeks to build a new kingdom atop the ruins of the old, but murmurings beneath the family edifice create fault lines that threaten to destabilize her future. Thera presents a dazzling depiction of family life. In sharp, unerring prose, it excavates the archaeology of the human soul.

Thera, by Zeruya Shalev, tells a rich and nuanced story of the marital pain of two couples as they separate, deal with loss and cataclysmic change, and try to re-organize their lives. Shalev puts the reader in the hearts and heads of her characters. Although it is a long book, the writing is spare, descriptive and intense. The main character is an archaelogist who applies her historical/scientific eye to her own experience, as she tries to put together her own past with her present and future.
