520 |a Jerusalem. The early years of the State of Israel. Naomi, a former architect from secular Tel Aviv, has just married Jochanan, a religious doctor who emigrated from Sweden. Days of Peace follows Naomi through 1950s Jerusalem as she meets a rich cast of characters, from an Arab beggarwoman in a park on a Sabbath afternoon to a professor of biblical archeology on a life-long quest to produce a hand-lettered edition of the Bible. Kaleidoscopic scenes of the city pass, a ritual bath, a wedding hall, carpentry workshops, bookstores, Hadassah Hospital, a former leper colony and more. As Naomi's marriage deteriorates, she travels to Poland, where the sorrow over those lost in the Holocaust intertwines with her nostalgia for the early romance of her now-faded marriage. But as the drama unfolds in the divorce court back in Jerusalem, Naomi is on her ultimate search, to find her place in this historical city.
