Summary:
"When the wind changes direction is a collection of stories of three women and one man who stop their daily routine in a dramatic moment, look at the cracks that have opened and examine the areas of their lives with courage without concealment and lies. In the four novellas ('A scream turns the earth', 'I am no longer the fear', 'Cold or not', 'Nostalgia?') the depth of love, the intensity of the grief of absence and the fragility of memories are revealed. Secrets, misses, pains and shadows are gently unraveled, and from them echoes a question: What did you wait for? why did you sink? And what about time and waste? The stormy wind provokes the eruption of a strong need for change, for action, for movement. Each of the characters takes an action and embarks on a journey attentive to her inner frequency: one kicks, the other holds on, the other drops and the other is calculating. During the journey they recognize the disruption that leads them and obfuscates them, and at the end each of them re-chooses their direction and drives their conclusion to their own surprising and special path"-- Back cover translation.

"כשהרוח משנה כיוון הוא אסופת סיפוריהם של שלוש נשים וגבר אחד העוצרים ברגע דרמטי את שגרת היון-יום שלהם, מישירים מבט אל סדקים שנעפרו ובוהנים את אזורי הייהם באומץ נטול הסתרות ושקרים. בארבע הנובלות ('צעקה הופכת אדמה', 'אני כבר לא הפחד', 'קרה או לא', 'נוסטלגיה?') מתגלים עומקה של אהבה, עוצמת יגון ההיעדר ושבריריות הזיכרונות. בעדינות נפרמים סודות, החמצות, כאבים וצללים, ומתוכם מהדהדת תהייה: למה חיכית? למה שקעת? ומה עם הזמן והבזבוז? הרוח הסוערת מעוררת את התפרצותו של צורך עז בשינוי, בפעולה, התנועה. כל אחת מהדמויות עושה מעשה ויוצאת למסע קשוב לתדר הפנימי שבה: זו בועטת, האחרת נאחזת, זו נשטמת וזה מתחשבן. במהלך המסע הן מזהות את השיבוש המנהל ומערפל אותן, ובסיומו כל אחת בוחרת מחדש את כיוונה ומסיעה את מסקנתה אל דרך מפתיעה ומיוחדת משלה." -- Back cover.
