Savyon Liebrechts intense, lyrical, and emotionally complex stories have made her a bestselling writer in her native Israel. Apples From the Desert brings together Liebrechts most vivid and affecting work and makes it available in English for the first time.With a precision and a subtle ferocity reminiscent of the work of Nadine Gordimer, Liebrechts stories reveal the impact of larger social and political conflicts within the private worlds of home and family. She depicts the personal tragediesand the small acts of courage and reconciliationthat grow from the deeprooted conflict between Arabs and Jews, women and men, and older and younger generations in presentday Israel. These stories create a finely nuanced portrait of contemporary Israel; at the same time, they reach toward truths that know no national boundaries. As Lily Rattok writes in her introduction, Liebrechts skill as a writer, combined with her perceptiveness, her compassion, and her deep humanity, create a body of work that is a testament to the healing power of storytelling.
