Overview

""Sara Aharon's memoir of her journalist father, a complicated man-courageous, noble, selfish, deceitful-is also a look back at an Israel that was maturing into the country it is today. Written with love, scrutiny, and incredulity, in this a book Sara works hard to understand herself, her father, and a people and country that is much misunderstood today."" David Bezmozgis, The Betrayers, a 2014 Giller Prize Finalist ""Sara Aharon draws on her unique training as a psychologist and trauma specialist to bring to light the fabled life of her father, Ran Kislev, the Holocaust survivor and acclaimed Haaretz journalist responsible for exposing the Israeli mafia and other aspects of Israel's shadow. Just as her father took a deep dive into the Israeli underground, Aharon takes the reader into the depths of her father's life: his idiosyncratic history as well as the far-reaching implications of his personal and professional choices, especially on those nearest to him."" - Tanya Bellehumeur-Allatt, author of Peacekeeper's Daughter: A Middle East Memoir and Carrying War. My Father's Shadow is a memoir of trauma, survival and identity. As Sara Aharon uncovers hidden and confusing events during her childhood, she takes the reader on her journey through aspects of Israel's shadow which her father, the Haaretz Daily journalist Ran Kislev, exposed-while putting his family repeatedly at risk-and the impact his work had on her.
