Description

A collection of essays which reflects the author's skills and her ability to communicate and educate on a variety of levels.

Her writing is informative and inspiring, passionate and poignant and ranges from the comic to the tragic, all frequently peppered with personal insights and anecdotes.

Critical family issues such as childlessness and matriarch are sensitively covered alongside issues of death and burial.

Sometimes there are vignettes such as her account of the funeral conducted by her youthful father for a bird he accidentally killed.

In sum, this collection provides a sweeping overview of Jewish life and culture as viewed through the eyes of an academic who is also a woman, equally at home in the real world and the ivory tower.
