Savyon Liebrecht's stories reveal the impact of
larger social and political conflicts within the
private worlds of home and family. She depicts
the personal tragedies -- and the small acts of
courage and reconciliation -- that grow from the
deep-rooted conflict between Arabs and Jews,
women and men, and older and younger generations
in present-day Israel.
From Critics:
From Tikkun Magazine
What makes these stories most powerful are their
unflinching commitment to enter into the
consciousness of women as they approach the
complexities of contemporary life with a
distinctively self-affirming women's perspective.
It is work that is finely nuanced to social
reality and yet powerfully alive to the inner
struggles and psychological twists of its
characters. A truly beautiful piece.
From Benderly - Washington Post Book World
Engrossing and skillful tales that take you
through the lives of real people, to the heart
of their emotional and moral being.
