He is often referred to as ‘the conscience of the country.’ The World’s Matthew Bell met with Grossman at his home outside of Jerusalem to talk about his latest novel, �To the End of the Land.� The book tells the story of a woman terrified of losing her son in the army. Grossman’s own son was killed while in the military.
