An American woman and her husband move to Jerusalem and discover the many faces of community, exile, and history. By focusing on the day-to-day rhythms of her close-knit neighborhood, Hoffman offers a refreshingly honest portrait of a place that is often reduced to generalization and cliche.
'A gracefully wrought, impressionistic portrait of life in a singular Jerusalem neighbourhood. Steadily perceptive and brimming with informed passion, Hoffman's account opens the shades on one of the most remarkable cities on earth' - Kirkus Review A lyrical evocation of Jerusalem that by focusing in microcosmic detail on the day-to-day rhythms of this close-knit community offers a rich, precise, and refreshingly honest portrait of a city that is often reduced to generalisations and cliches.
