ESRA Ra'anana Branch

Literary talk about the book Little Histories. In seven episodes, moving backward through the tumult of the twentieth and nineteenth centuries, Raziel’s descendants make fateful choices as they struggle to reconcile their identities, their dreams, and the constraints of their time and place. Their stories play out on a reality set in rural Belarus, 1960s Tel Aviv, a pre-independence kibbutz, 1930s Chicago, pre-war Vilna, turn-of-the-century Minsk, and finally in the tiny shtetl of Prepoisk - not as one overriding narrative, but as a collection of small intimate histories.

Janice Weizman will speak about her second book Little Histories. Her first book, The Wayward Moon, was the recipient of the 2013 Independent Publisher Book award Gold Medal for historical fiction and winner of the 2013 Midwest Book Award for historical fiction.

Wine and cake will be served. Seating will be outside the ESRA bookshop.
