Evocatively and calculatingly told, the writing in here is sublime. Slow-revealing storylines were interesting, but too many questions were left unanswered...

Three families live in an elegant residential building. One member in each makes a heart-wrenching confession and paints a vivid and diverse image of Israeli society. I was most touched by the third story, so poignant and heartbreaking.

"The three floors of the psyche do not exist inside us at all! Absolutely not! They exist in the air between us and someone else, in the space between our mouths and the ears we are telling our story to."

A light pick. This book is comprised of three stories, each following a family on different floors of an apartment building in Tel Aviv. They are told almost like confessionals, with a resident from each apartment sharing their story to "you", a friend, a confidant, or a deceased husband. Like you, these confidants don't interact or reply and they feel a bit contrived.

Story one showed a family with two children and how they all interacted⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick with the older couple across the hall. As things come to a head and Arnon obsesses about his daughter's safety, he makes decisions that affect his family. This one got uncomfortable for some events involving underage girls.

Story three involves Devorah, a judge who recently lost her husband. She tells her story as rambling voicemail messages to him as she deals with loss, new friendship, and longing for an estranged son. ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Story 2 was my favorite, as it felt the most relatable. Hani is a wife & mother to 2 young children & she is feeling lonely. Her husband isn't an active caregiver & travels often for work, leaving Hani on the parenting island alone. One day her brother-in-law appears on the doorstep, on the run and in need of her help. With the brothers in a rift & her husband away, Hani is game to help. This is the most excitement she's had in a long time. ⬇️ 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick These stories didn't give me a good sense of place of Tel Aviv, as so much revolves around the apartment building and their secular, personal lives, but it was an interesting way to spend a few hours.

Final April book (finally) #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks and my third finished for #foodandlit #israel @Butterfinger @Texreader @Catsandbooks

#FoodAndLit I was ambivalent when I began this novel but became more invested once I realized it was a collection of interconnected stories. I thought the book dragged in places but overall it was a nice slice of life collection of Israeli life. The stories were a little dark but had a humanness to them. Definitely a #BorrowNotBuy #Scribd 🎧

First book of the #Readathon weekend completed! This book includes the stories of three different people in the same apartment building told as confessions. It is stories of the choices and maybe mistakes that they‘ve made and demonstrates how sharing those stories helps them to move forward.

#NovemberByTheNumbers Thank you GoodReads search...I found books I read & books I want to read with #three in the title.... TONS of book love for The Family & very curious about the tagged book, a translated novel from a debut Israeli author following #three families who live in an apartment building. It‘s meant to be three short novellas, which ultimately interconnect.

TrishB Not read any of them! 7y
Cinfhen I‘ll keep u posted @TrishB 😘 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Look at you! Lots of three-sies! 7y
