SUMMARY:Contemporary Jewish Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Jewish Fiction\nWith Cynthia Good \nThursdays\, 10:30 am (hybrid) \nWe look forward to in-person (and online) learning and the opportunity for in-depth study. Join us this fall for our usual lively discussion around two novels with profound explorations of family and moral values by two Israeli women writers. \n  \nRegister here \n  \nThe Wolf Hunt by Ayelet Gundar-Goshen \nAward-winning author Ayelet Gundar-Goshen returns with a timely and suspenseful exploration of the fault lines in a community\, a school and a family\, as a mother begins to suspect her teenage son of committing a terrible crime. \n“A novel of ideas\, a thriller and a character study’ OBSERVER \n‘Ensnares her characters in heart-stopping moral dilemmas’ MAIL ON SUNDAY \nOn Her Own by Lihi Lapid \nSet between the eve of Passover and Israel’s Independence Day\, On Her Own is a tense and immersive psychological read about two families looking for redemption and the transformative bonds between strangers. When Nina\, a teenage runaway\, is found by Carmela\, a lonely old widow suffering from memory loss\, she mistakes Nina for the granddaughter she hasn’t seen in years. Meanwhile\, Nina’s mother is in agony as she worries over her daughter’s disappearance. \n“The plot of On Her Own is propulsive. . . . From start to finish\, it is an engaging\, illuminating story of family and injury. It examines grief\, the fallacies of wishful thinking\, and persistent hope in a way that many readers will find memorable.” — Jewish Book Council
