Dear friends,
Shavua tov/happy Sunday!
Today is Literary Modiin’s December event - at 20:00 Israel time / 1 pm Eastern / 12 pm Central etc. Register here for the Zoom.
We’ll be hearing about three novels:
The Thread Collectors by Shaunna J. Edwards and Alyson Richman is the original story of a Black woman in New Orleans and a Jewish woman in New York, both of whom are fighting for the cause of freedom and Union victory through their needlework during the Civil War.
The Lost Women of Azalea Court by Ellen Meeropol begins when an eighty-eight-year-old woman disappears from the house she shares with her husband, a psychiatrist, and the former head of the now-closed state mental hospital for which Azalea Court served as staff housing. But that mystery is just one of many related, slowly unveiled mysteries and secrets, some of which go back to the Holocaust and the Red Scare after World War II.
Dreams Under Glass by Anca L. Szilágyi is about an art school graduate yearning to create while trying to pay the bills as a paralegal during the 2008 financial crisis.
