Why read it?
1 author picked Songs for the Brokenhearted as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book beautifully delves into the themes of grief, love, daughter-mother relations and national identity against the background of the immigration of Jews from Arab countries to Israel in the 1950s and the integration/or lack thereof of their children in Israeli society. The writing is wonderful, the characters flawed by relatable, the plot has enough tension to keep the reader engaged. A wonderful book.
