So all these promises?
Yea I’ve promised you all a lot and I have been reading new interesting things, such as “A Woman in Jerusalem.” That particular book especially was a bit existential and in the light of the surge of attacks on individuals in Jerusalem in the last week, it is a definite very human look at the life of an unknown, lost soul in the big city. But reviewing it would have been very difficult because frankly I wasn’t sure I could do it justice. So just take me on my word. It’s an interesting read and i want to read more works by this particular Israeli author.
On the hand, I was and am firmly committed to reviewing “A Cape for Kali” next. Just last night, the author Rabbi Galins Trefil sent the Q&A back to me so my devoted readers, you will get a review AND a Q&A. I’ve been worn out from work and wedding planning but expect to see these up this qeekend. And if I flake out, call me on it!

That’s basically how I would know I needed therapy.

Not sure if this will be reviewed but interesting none the less – A Woman in Jerusalem by A.B. Yehoshua
Goodreads description of the novel:
“A woman in her forties is a victim of a suicide bombing at a Jerusalem market. Her body lies nameless in a hospital morgue. She had apparently worked as a cleaning woman at a bakery, but there is no record of her employment. When a Jerusalem daily accuses the bakery of “gross negligence and inhumanity toward an employee,” the bakery’s owner, overwhelmed by guilt, entrusts the task of identifying and burying the victim to a human resources man. This man is at first reluctant to take on the job, but as the facts of the woman’s life take shape-she was an engineer from the former Soviet Union, a non-Jew on a religious pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and, judging by an early photograph, beautiful-he yields to feelings of regret, atonement, and even love.
At once profoundly serious and highly entertaining, A. B. Yehoshua astonishes us with his masterly, often unexpected turns in the story and with his ability to get under the skin and into the soul of Israel today”
This is my first book by A B Yehoshua, a reknown Israeli author and found this link for those interested in taking a gander.
