Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Savyon Liebrechtâs intense, lyrical, and emotionally complex stories have made her a best-selling writer in her native Israel. Apples From the Desert brings together Liebrechtâs most vivid and affecting work and makes it available in English for the first time.
With a precision and a subtle ferocity reminiscent of the work of Nadine Gordimer, Liebrechtâs stories reveal the impact of larger social and political conflicts within the private worlds of home and family. She depicts the personal tragediesÂand the small acts of courage and reconciliationÂthat grow from the deep-rooted conflict between Arabs and Jews, women and men, and older and younger generations in present-day Israel. These stories create a finely nuanced portrait of contemporary Israel; at the same time, they reach toward truths that know no national boundaries. As Lily Rattok writes in her introduction, ÂLiebrechtâs skill as a writer, combined with her perceptiveness, her compassion, and her deep humanity, create a body of work that is a testament to the healing power of storytelling.â
