Snapshots

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.
