Product Overview
Finalist, 2015 National Jewish Book Award
Honorable Mention, Sophie Brody Medal, American Library Association
One of the Jewish Book Council's 15 fiction books that shaped Jewish literature in 2015
Eve considers motherhood.
Miriam tends Moses.
Lots wife looks back.
Vividly reimagined with startling contemporary clarity, Michal Lembergers 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 Lembergers deep knowledge of the Bible, each of these nine stories story recasts a biblical saga from the perspective of a pivotal woman.
Michal Lembergers nonfiction and journalism have appeared in Slate, Salon, Tablet, and other publications, and her poetry has been published in a number of print and online journals. A story from After Abel, her first collection of fiction, was featured in Lilith Magazine. Lemberger holds an MA and PhD in English from UCLA and a BA in English and religion from Barnard College. She has taught the Hebrew Bible as Literature at UCLA and the American Jewish University. She was born and raised in New York and now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two daughters.
Original and thought-provoking. KIRKUS REVIEWS
Lemberger imbues her characters with a consciousness that, although taking place in ancient times, seems contemporary, because she brings such empathy to her characters
