Q: Do you think this reconciliation is important for the world at large?
My response comes perilously close to John Lennon’s “Imagine,” but I do envision a world in which ancient hatreds and rivalries can be soothed by bonds of love. Not necessarily romantic love, as in this novel, but open-heartedness. Perspective. Compassion.
Q: How autobiographical is the book?
As I’ve noted, my husband comes from a non-Jewish household. We have three beautiful children, all “brilliant as the stars.” As I recount in my forthcoming memoir, my father, at his deathbed, said: “Thank you for bringing these people [my husband and his family] into my life.”
Q: This book takes place several decades ago; how is it still relevant today?
Unfortunately, hatred and race prejudice are still all around us. I believe that words are equally powerful, and that is one reason that I will always be a passionate writer and reader.
Q: What are your next projects?
I hope to see my memoir in print next year, and I am working on a new novel.
This book is a work of fiction. The characters, incidents and dialogues are drawn from the author’s imagination and are not to be construed as real. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.
