Pain | Zeruya Shalev
post image
Pickpick

Zeruya Shalev writes so well about love, marriage and family. In this novel there‘s also pain. The narrator was injured in a terrorist attack on a bus in Jerusalem. Ten years later, the pain returns. So does her first love. An intense book I read for #FoodAndLit #Israel.

MySharonaK What an amazing book! The author herself was injured in a terror attack in Jerusalem (and chef Assaf Granit assisted her). Her books are a gift ❤️ 4y

BarbaraBB @MySharonaK You are right. I don‘t think she would be able to write about pain the way she does without having experienced it 💔 4y
TrishB What a mesmerising cover ❤️ 4y
MySharonaK @BarbaraBB Yes I agree with you💔 it‘s amazing how she‘s channeled it into such beauty. Have you read books by her cousin Meir Shalev? 4y
Anna40 I love this book. I adore this author!!! ❤ 4y
Butterfinger A great review. 4y
Texreader Excellent review 4y
BarbaraBB @MySharonaK I used to read a lot of Meir Shalev but it‘s a long time ago! 4y
BarbaraBB @Anna40 Me too. My favorite is one that doesn‘t seem to have been translated into English unfortunately. I must be wrong. I read it in Dutch, where it‘s title means ‘The Second Family‘ and it‘s about a female narrator trying to connect with the kids of her new lover. (edited) 4y
LeahBergen Gorgeous photo... again!! 4y
batsy Love the photo 👌🏽 4y
TheBookHippie I have this one on hold at library 4y
BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie I am very curious to read what you‘ll think of it. I haven‘t read that one. I‘ll be looking forward to your review! 4y
