#28- Still Here - The Novel I Wrote Twice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Exactly twenty years ago, I arrived in Israel and began writing my first novel. Back then, I was enchanted by just about everything. I wanted to persuade people to forget the headlines and come see with their own eyes a country that stirred me to my very core.I chose four women who each, in her own way, embodied a little of who I was, or who I longed to be, and I wrote their story.

Read excerpt
