Marianne de la Neige Roman psychologique sur les victimes du traumatisme du combat par Hadassa Ashdot Psychologue de l'armée, Hadassa Ashdot, nous livre un roman émouvant sur le pouvoir guérisseur de l'amour et du désir, de la haine aveugle et tueuse qui détruit ce qui est bon, sur la forte envie de liberté sans limite, opposée aux restrictions culturelles et sociales et aux tabous, et sur la perte profonde cédant la place à la lumière et l'espoir. L'histoire tourne autour de trois combattants israéliens – Nadav, un médecin et membre désillusionné du kibboutz, et ses amis David, un soldat de carrière qui fait partie des « socialement désavantagé » d'Israël, et Osama, un commandant d'unité, venant d'un petit village druze et membre de cette unique minorité servant dans l'armée israélienne. Les trois se cachent dans une forêt de cyprès au Liban, Osama, grièvement blessé, en attente d'un hélicoptère de l'armée venant les chercher pour les sauver. Durant ces quatre jours d'attente désespérée, la forêt dans laquelle ils avaient trouvé refuge devient un piège mortel fatidique et symbolique dans lequel leurs vies et leurs sorts sont entremêlés. Le temps que l'hélicoptère arrive, deux des hommes meurent et Nadav, le protagoniste, vit le traumatisme de la perte de ses amis durant la guerre. Secoué par la mort de ses amis et l'expérience horrible de la guerre, Nadav quitte Marianne, la fille qu'il aime et part vers un voyage de purification personnelle dans l'Himalaya. Mais aucun salut ne l'attend là-bas. Après avoir été enseveli sous une avalanche, de laquelle il a été secouru, meurtri et cassé, il sombre dans les ténèbres et la dépression, supportant des années de mort vivante et tombant dans le gouffre du désespoir. L'amour, finalement, s'avère être la lumière au bout du tunnel à travers laquelle Nadav fait son chemin de retour à la vie – l'amour, la seule force capable de guérir la blessure profonde causée par la guerre. Marianne, volontaire finlandaise dans le kibboutz, est la femme que Nadav a aimée et quittée; mais néanmoins, elle l'accompagne à travers les neiges de l'Himalaya dans lesquelles il cherche un refuge, dans une tentative de se libérer de la peine et de la culpabilité de la mort de ses amis. Nadav redécouvre Marianne dans l'affection calme d'une personne ayant atteint l'âge adulte, dans les neiges de Finlande, elle est le baume qui l'aide finalement à apaiser les blessures de guerre.
