I was born and raised in South Africa, lived on a kibbutz in Israel for five years before moving to London. I was married for twenty years, fathered three children and got divorced. After remarrying I returned to Israel and now live in the Jerusalem hills, where I have my pottery studio.

A few years ago I decided to resurrect the journal I kept during the time of my divorce. The journal, a chronicle of the breakup of my marriage and of my recovery, became my book BREAKUP: enduring divorce.
