JEWISH AUTHORS & IDEAS SERIES: Ayelet Tsabari
JCC MetroWest presents, Ayelet Tsabari, Songs for the Brokenhearted
A Yemeni Israeli story of mothers and daughters, love and loss, and secrets untold, the novel shines a light on a little-known community and their rich history. In 1995, thirty-something Zohara, living in New York City, returns to Israel for the funeral of her mother, Saida, who had immigrated to Israel in the 1950s along with thousands of other Yemeni Jews. Cleaning out her mother’s house, Zohara finds evidence that her family wasn’t exactly as she thought it was. Meanwhile, a nephew gets caught up in the aftermath of Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination. A gripping novel with unforgettable characters.
