Zeeva Bukai: The Anatomy of Exile

(Fiction, 303 pp. 2025)

This sensitively portrayed family saga begins in Israel in 1973, with a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story between a Palestinian and a Jew ending in tragedy. The family flees to America to mend, but encounters only more turmoil that threatens to tear them apart.
