Hold On to the Sun (Reuben/Rifkin Jewish Women Writers) Book
In this portrait of the artist as a young woman Michal Govrin one of Israel's most important contemporary writers offers a kaleidoscope of stories and essays. Populated by mysterious and real people each tale is in some way a search for meaning in a post-Holocaust world. Reminiscent of W.G. Sebald characters irrationally and humanely find reason for hope in a world that offers little. Essays describe Govrin's visits to Poland as a young adult where her mother had survived a death camp. Govrin journeys there after she learns that her mother had not been alone. She lost her first husband and eight-year-old son Govrin's half brother and kept it a secret from her second family for many years. In a multiplicity of voices Govrin's haunting stories capture the depths of denial and the exuberance of youth.Read More
