This stunningly intimate collection of stories is an exquisite
portrait of a Jewish community - the secular and religious families
who inhabit it and the tensions that exist there - that illuminates
the unexpected ways we remain connected during times of change.
When Uncle Isaac moves back from L.A. to help his sister, Elaine
Levine, care for her suddenly motherless grandchildren, he finds
himself embroiled in even more drama than he would like in their
suburban neighbourhood. Meanwhile, a nanny miles from her own
family in the Philippines, cares for a young boy who doesn't fit in
at school. A woman in mid-life contends with the task of cleaning
out the house in which she grew up, while her teenage son struggles
with why his dad moved out. And down the street, a mother and her
two daughters prepare for a wedding and transitions they didn't see
coming. Spanning fifteen years in the lives of a multi-generational
family and their neighbours, this remarkable collection is an
intimate portrait of a suburban Jewish community by a writer with a
keen eye for detail, a gentle sense of humour, and an immense
literary talent.
