Finalist, 2015 National Jewish Book AwardHonorable Mention, Sophie Brody Medal, American Library AssociationOne of the Jewish Book Council's 15 fiction books that shaped Jewish literature in 2015""Lemberger imbues her characters with a consciousness that, although taking place in ancient times, seems contemporary, because she brings such empathy to her characters... It is this act of empathy that shines through... . an alternative dialogue that reminds us that it is the stories that we tell that are civilization's true heritage." - FORBES Eve considers motherhood. Miriam tends Moses. Lot's wife looks back. Vividly reimagined with startling contemporary clarity, Michal Lemberger's debut collection of short stories gives voice to silent, oft-marginalized biblical women: their ambitions, their love for their children, their values, their tremendous struggles and challenges. Informed by Lemberger's deep knowledge of the Bible, each of these nine stories recasts a biblical saga from the perspective of a pivotal woman." | After Abel And Other Stories by Michal Lemberger, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
