Star of the Sea, By Elias Khoury

Facilitated by Louise Meller

FICTION, 417 pages

Available in Paperback and Kindle           

 Star of the Sea is the second installment of a brilliant trilogy—an epic tale of love, survival, and ongoing devastation.

Weaving history, memory, and poetry, this unforgettable novel—and the 1st book in a trilogy—provides a sprawling memorial to the Nakba and the strangled lives left in its wake.

Star of the Sea.  Adam Dannoun’s story is one of beginnings. Born in a war-torn Israel, Adam dreams of becoming a writer. He is just an infant when Jewish forces uproot and massacre thousands of Palestinians in the 1948 Nakba, including his own father. Adam’s mother, crumbling with loss, takes her son to Haifa and remarries. Adam flees this lifeless home and writes himself a second beginning. With nothing but his father’s will and the image of his mother at the doorway, Adam is born again into the streets of Haifa.

On Her Own: A Novel, By Lihi Lapid

 Translator Sondra Silverston, Facilitated by Di Wulfsohn

A moving, page-turning story of two families in crisis and the unexpected places from which love can grow. 

Nina, a teenage runaway, wakes up in the unfamiliar stairwell of a Tel Aviv apartment in a torn minidress. As her memory starts to resurface—the abusive older man she’s running away from, the crime she witnessed—she knows one thing: she needs to find a place to hide.

Set between the eve of Passover and Israel’s Independence Day, On Her Own is a tense and immersive psychological read about two families looking for redemption and the transformative bonds between strangers.

A National Jewish Book Award Finalist for both the Book Club Award and Hebrew Fiction in Translation.
