Auszeichnungen
Winner 2016 Golden Crown Literary Society Award; Runner up 2015 Rainbow Awards.This sweeping novel follows childhood sweethearts Rona and Shelli as they come of age and face impossible choices. Passion and heartbreak leap off the page in this lyrical exploration of love, friendship, and family in Israel.A Small Country about to Vanish is Rona and Shelli's love-hate relationship with an ancient piano, with each other and with their difficult homeland, a country physically too small and politically too volatile to maintain its own existence. Wise and compassionate Rona believes in fairness and equality and shows a rare ability to feel empathy for her supposed enemies, while her friends and family want security first. Shelli, an avid reader of Holocaust literature, raises old but relevant questions. Must history repeat itself? How do we know when the political pot of hatred has boiled beneath us, making it necessary to leave our belongings behind and relocate, to save ourselves and our family?
