A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Raw, funny and touching, Weeping Susannah is the story of a woman's struggle to learn to exprses herself, to live - perhaps even to love.

Susannah Rabin, obsessive, hypersensitive and 33, lives with her mother in a claustrophobic Tel Aviv apartment - the perfect haven from the torment of human contact. That is, until her mother announces that her cousin Neo, from New York, is coming to stay. But the mysterious, multi-talented Neo's exotic charm proves irresistable - even to Susannah.

Then, just as it seems Susannah might finally escape the prison of her own personality, her mother asks the obvious question: Just what exactly is Neo doing in Israel?

Revue de presse :

"Kimhi's coming-of-age novel seduces with hypnotic effectiveness" (Lisa Darnell Guardian)

"A remarkable balancing act. It begins as a novel about a woman obsessed only with 'the small details' of her inner existence, yet ends up drawing almost every aspect of Israeli reality into focus" (Independent)

"Literature in the Russian tradition - quirky and soul-examining, with that heightened sense of the mystery of everyday life" (Anna Shapiro Observer)
