“A sophisticated, attractive book. . . . Like the best Jewish comic novelists, from Philip Roth to Howard Jacobson, Rabinovici excels at communicating the too-muchness of Jewish experience, the sensation of being bombarded by insoluble questions—about Israel, the Holocaust, religious belief, family obligation.”

Tablet

“A compelling story, with believable characters and a twisting narrative that grabs the reader right from the first page.”

Times of Israel

“Rabinovici proves able to counter gaiety with solemnity, calamity with cheerfulness, and displacement with inclusion.”
