Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer
A family in Brooklyn unravels while the nation of Israel, shaken by a monumental earthquake, comes under attack. Only a writer of Safran Foer’s immense talent can balance a towering story about the breakup of a marriage with a political crisis of global importance. His vibrant characters’ thoughts on the loss of innocence, identity and faith are at once hilarious and profound. Be awed and inspired by this contemporary take on Jewish life.
