pickThree families live in an elegant residential building. One member in each makes a heart-wrenching confession and paints a vivid and diverse image of Israeli society. I was most touched by the third story, so poignant and heartbreaking.
"The three floors of the psyche do not exist inside us at all! Absolutely not! They exist in the air between us and someone else, in the space between our mouths and the ears we are telling our story to."
pickA light pick. This book is comprised of three stories, each following a family on different floors of an apartment building in Tel Aviv. They are told almost like confessionals, with a resident from each apartment sharing their story to "you", a friend, a confidant, or a deceased husband. Like you, these confidants don't interact or reply and they feel a bit contrived.
Story one showed a family with two children and how they all interacted⬇️
so-so#FoodAndLit I was ambivalent when I began this novel but became more invested once I realized it was a collection of interconnected stories. I thought the book dragged in places but overall it was a nice slice of life collection of Israeli life. The stories were a little dark but had a humanness to them. Definitely a #BorrowNotBuy #Scribd 🎧

pickFirst book of the #Readathon weekend completed! This book includes the stories of three different people in the same apartment building told as confessions. It is stories of the choices and maybe mistakes that they‘ve made and demonstrates how sharing those stories helps them to move forward.

#NovemberByTheNumbers Thank you GoodReads search...I found books I read & books I want to read with #three in the title.... TONS of book love for The Family & very curious about the tagged book, a translated novel from a debut Israeli author following #three families who live in an apartment building. It‘s meant to be three short novellas, which ultimately interconnect.
