Описание:

Gritty Yet Shimmering Stories I'm not exaggerating here one bit.
It's titled 'White Zion' but Gila Green paints from all the colors/hues of the Jewish palette. These gritty yet shimmering stories get into you. I read them all in two swoops, then stayed up for an hour or two, maybe four, waiting for my heart to return to normal.
-Ruchama King Feuerman, author of In the Courtyard of the Kabbalist and Seven Blessings

In a journey of generations from Aden to Palestine to Ottawa, one Yemenite family encounters new and difficult realities: racism and war, rejection and divorce, resourceful survival and tragic death. With smells of delicious breads wafting up from the page, embroidering detail upon detail in fine literary stitch, Gila Green draws us fully into her narrative, as she generously shares with us the hidden core of family life and the stories she is not afraid to tell.
-Yael Unterman, author of The Hidden of Things: Twelve Stories of Love & Longing

Imagine a group of friends and relatives coming together throughout the afternoon over food and drink, staying late into the evening to share stories that engender laughter, tears, empathy and admiration. The profoundly satisfying stories in White Zion are rich in intimate detail, peopled with a cast of heart wrenching characters at once familiar and unique, a gathering of personalities that leaves me reluctant to leave their company and eager to revisit them.
-Pearl Luke, author of Madame Zee and Burning Ground

Описание: With five gorgeous older sisters, what's an "ugly sister" to do? Pursue and win the handsomest man in town But joy is short-lived as the Nazi death machine roars down to destroy everything they value and everyone they love. The sisters turn to politics, prayer and deception, tradition and dependency, even taking up arms. A beautiful sister poses as a German and she becomes the true UGLY SISTER . The youngest sister shows her inner beauty and strength, and, will not let anything-neither the monstrous butchers nor a raging God-keep her from her beloved. THE UGLY SISTER is a novel of the Holocaust that is different from any you have read before. The heroes and villains of this story are women just as they were in real life. Based on real people and events, it comes alive today, because we live in a world where anti-Semitism is again on the rise, and where women are still so far from realizing their human potential. In the tradition of The Book Thief and Sarah's Key, THE UGLY SISTER is best-selling author Gila Berkowitz's epic novel of family. It is about the love and faith that can bind a family tightly, and the envy and betrayal that can rip it apart.
