The Lost Family is an extraordinary read, the kind of book that makes you sob and smile, the kind that gives you hope…. It is compassionate, masterful and disturbingly contemporary."—Tatiana de Rosnay, bestselling author of Sarah’s KeyThe New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us creates a vivid portrait of marriage, family, and the haunting grief of World War II in this emotionally charged, beautifully rendered story that spans a generation, from the 1960s to the 1980s.In 1965 Manhattan, patrons flock to Masha’s to savor its brisket bourguignon and impeccable service and to admire its dashing owner and head chef Peter Rashkin. With his movie-star good looks and tragic past, Peter, a survivor of Auschwitz, is the most eligible bachelor in town. But Peter does not care for the parade of eligible women who come to the restaurant hoping to catch his eye. He has resigned himself to a solitary life. Running Masha’s consumes him, as does his terrible guilt over surviving the horrors of the Nazi death camp while his wife, Masha—the restaurant’s namesake—and two young daughters perished.Then exquisitely beautiful June Bouquet, an up-and-coming young model, appears at the restaurant, piercing Peter’s guard. Though she is twenty years his junior, the two begin a passionate, whirlwind courtship. When June unexpectedly becomes pregnant, Peter proposes, believing that beginning a new family with the woman he loves will allow him to let go of the horror of the past. But over the next twenty years, the indelible sadness of those memories will overshadow Peter, June, and their daughter Elsbeth, transforming them in shocking, heartbreaking, and unexpected ways.Jenna Blum artfully brings to the page a husband devastated by a grief he cannot name, a frustrated wife struggling to compete with a ghost she cannot banish, and a daughter sensitive to the pain of both her own family and another lost before she was born. Spanning three cinematic decades, The Lost Family is a charming, funny, and elegantly bittersweet study of the repercussions of loss and love.

Paperback

Uriel "Uri" Katz, World War Two veteran, concentration camp liberator, devout atheist, contrarian, cynic and lifelong bachelor, places an ad in a newspaper seeking a "typist" to assist him in writing his memoir and receives only one reply, from a woman, named Eleanor, who negotiates a deal with him that includes room and board.Within days of her arrival, Eleanor begins inserting herself into Uri's story. So much so that she eventually becomes one of its main characters. And while Uri is dismayed and, at times, exasperated by this turn of events, he's also grown accustomed to Eleanor's company and cooking, and, as such, begrudgingly puts up with the semi-appropriation of his memoir.Though what remains imperceptible to Uri-until the novel's final, thrilling pages-is that Eleanor's appearance in his life wasn't coincidental; it was manufactured by her. And that the two have been intricately linked since the day he marched into the concentration camp.Brian Prousky's dazzling new book is memoir-writing turned on its head. It's a story about storytelling itself. About the power of language to shape and misshape history. And about the equal perils of sharing and not sharing deep-held secrets.This is the large print edition of Uriel Through Eleanor, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.

A haunting, multi-timeline novel of memory, identity, the fierce power of ancestral love, and the importance of stories. From the fires of the Spanish Inquisition, through the unspeakable darkness of the Holocaust, to a fractured contemporary America, one Jewish family is bound across centuries by a single unbroken thread: the refusal to disappear. When Sariah, a young woman hiding both her faith and forbidden love, is forced to flee Inquisition-era Spain, the choices she makes reverberate across generations. Centuries later, her descendant Rachel, adrift in personal loss, discovers an enchanted cemetery where the dead have stories to tell. There, among ghosts who argue, joke, mourn, and remember, she discovers the truth she has spent a lifetime avoiding. As the lives of Sariah, Jakob, and countless ancestors collide, the novel weaves Jewish history, LGBTQ+ identity, magical realism, and spiritual longing into one unforgettable tapestry. What emerges is a story of survival and defiance, of what is carried, what is forgotten, what refuses to die, and the stories that must still be told. Moving, darkly humorous, spiritually daring, and emotionally transformative, this is historical fiction reimagined for readers who crave meaning in the pain and beauty beneath the ruins. Perfect for fans of Everything Is Illuminated, Beloved, The Book Thief, The Golem and the Jinni, and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

In spite of the hardships, the novel portrays a compelling story of growth.Readers who enjoy women's fiction, epic family sagas with vivid, passionate characters or are interested in the diverse spectrum within the Brooklyn Jewish community, will be drawn to this unforgettable story of love, faith, determination, courage and triumph.

Vaselientje, dagboek van een baby, was in de jaren 50 een wekelijkse kranten rubriek, waarin de bekende schrijver Eli Asser (1922-2019) zijn baby Vaselientje liet vertellen over alles wat zij zoal beleefde en wat zij van de wereld en haar bewoners vond. De artikelen werden gebundeld tot een succesvol boekje. Het is met name geschreven voor alle jonge ouders en alle mensen, die eens jonge ouders zijn geweest en intussen wellicht al grootouders zijn geworden, doch het lezers publiek werd veel breder. Want iedereen is tenslotte ooit een baby geweest, nietwaar? Bovendien is dit boekje niet alleen het lezen maar minstens net zoveel het bekijken waard, aangezien het rijkelijk is voorzien van unieke illustraties van Jan Sluijters. In de loop van de tijd zijn er meerdere drukken van Vaselientje, dagboek van een baby verschenen, maar het boek was helaas nergens meer te koop. Daarom heeft Vaselientje zelf op veler verzoek besloten het boek in een nieuw jasje te steken en opnieuw uit te geven.

While in the archives room of the Siena Municipal Public Library, I noticed a cardboard box labeled "Lorenzini?" Since Lorenzini wrote Pinocchio under the pen-name Collodi, I opened the box and was astounded to see a handwritten manuscript titled: Tinocchia, the Adventures of a Jewish Puppetta. I photographed the pages, and soon enough translated the story into English. Tinocchia, the story's narrator, is created by her carpenter father, Yossi, who named her after the Hebrew word for "baby," tinok, and as a nod to his fellow woodworker, Gepetto, the creator of Pinocchio. While riding on her magic cart, Tinocchia bumps into a puppetto who introduces himself as Nipocchio. Naturally, the puppetto's nose grows . . . Pinocchio and Tinocchia share adventures: Tinocchia becomes involved with Samael, the Dark Angel; Pinocchio and Tinocchia encounter pirates on a sailboat which gets overturned in a storm. One day Pinocchio visits asa real boy and offers Tinocchia a magic salve. She scolds him that he has no right to take the salve. In any case, she does not want mortality; she wants to live. Pinocchio turns back into a puppetto to be with her. And, like in a true fairy tale, they live happily ever . . . after . . . presumably.

Hasdai ibn Shaprut was a Talmudic scholar who lived from 915-975. He was a linguist fluent in Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin, and a renowned physician. The caliph of Cordoba, Abd-ar-Rhaman III, recognized his learning, intelligence, and skills and appointed him court physician, and the inspector general for customs collections. He became a respected diplomatic advisor, particularly when dealing with the Byzantine empire. Shaprut also was appointed Nagid (head) of all the Jews of the caliphate. Because of his great wealth, wisdom, and high rank, he was able to protect and advocate for, not only the Jews of Cordoba, but those Jews throughout the diaspora. He supported and regularly corresponded with leading Talmudic authorities in Babylon and North Africa. An interesting, but disputed, correspondence, written in Hebrew, exists between Shaprut and the Jewish king of the Khazar empire. Shaprut dispatched his personal envoy to travel to Atil, the Khazar capital, to ascertain if the Khazars were, in fact Jewish, and if so, would it be possible for Jews escaping persecution to find safe haven within its borders.
