Overview

The Memory House is a poetic memoir based on stories about the Israeli immigrant experience, ranging from the author's grandparents leaving Eastern Europe during the holocaust, to her parents immigrating from Israel to America in the sixties, and then to her own experiences growing up between Israel and the US in the eighties. The book is bilingual and weaves back and forth through time, crossing cultural lines and making connections with ancestral lineage.
