#TBRtemptation post 7! Noga, 42 and divorced, is a harpist with a Dutch orchestra. When her father dies, she's summoned back to Jerusalem for 3 months. During that time, she confront her ex-husband who divorced her when she refused him children, and her brother will get her parts as an extra in movies, tv, and opera. But soon, she'll take charge of her own plot instead of being others' extra in their stories. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

I like the promise of this cover more than the book itself. Yehoshua teased me with descriptions of classical music! This novel (mostly) follows Noga as she moves back home while her mother tries out assisted living. She works as a temp tv/movie extra, which is fun to read about, not profound. I like the subtle religious tension in her apartment, not so much the melodrama with her ex. The language, maybe translation, was too purple. #JewLit
