pickI don‘t even know what to say, I loved this book so much. I started out, after the prologue, empathizing with Shiva as a queer woman mourning a beloved Jewish father who died too young of cancer (okay, my dad died almost four years ago, but the pain is still there). But there‘s so much more to this book. Four+ generations of Jewish women‘s silence and stories. Love and laughter. Magic and possession.
Clare-Dragonfly I happened to watch this video at the same time as I was finishing this book; it isn‘t directly relevant, but it‘s also about the theme of Jewish generational silence. https://youtu.be/c7lIXJHawfE?si=K9zmI6fZy_kN_f31 2w
