The award-winning “work of a great novelist...a literary master plan for Israel’s multiple generations.”( David Shapiro)
Winner of the Akum Prize for Best Literary Achievement of the Year, Snapshots introduces Ilana Tsuriel—a brilliant Israeli intellectual and architect, wife of a prominent Holocaust scholar, and daughter of a legendary founding Zionist. When she dies in a car accident, it’s up to her estranged husband, Alain, to piece together the puzzle of the woman he thought he knew from the documents she left behind. Snapshots is a wrenching portrait of a woman grappling with her loyalties, and with every element of her ever-shifting identities from New York to Paris to Jerusalem.
“Absorbing and affecting.”
—The San Francisco Chronicle
“Vivid and immediate.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A mutiny of clashing voices, each with its own version of past, present and future...Snapshots becomes a symposium on Jewish history and on the future of the State of Israel, conducted by four radically different voices.”
—The Forward
“This brave and complex work must be read by everyone still lured by the hope of peace.”
—David Shapiro
