Matches is about a young American Jew who serves in the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip. Somewhat based on the author’s experience as an American-Israeli soldier, Nathan Falk’s journey into the troubled heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of disillusionment and sobering revelation, but also of a newly steeled determination to survive, as a Jew in a hostile world, at all costs. “The Orchard” is the prologue to the novel.
