The One Facing Us: A Novel,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A richly colored narrative of a flamboyant JewishEgyptian family and its dispersal across three continents, from Israel's most original new novelist.Esther, seventeen years old, wild and rebellious, is sent from Israel to Cameroon to stay with her hardheaded Uncle Sicourelle, who is charged with straightening her out. But Esther resists her uncle's plans for her futurewhich include marriage to a cousinand in the privileged indolence of postcolonial Africa, she looks to the past instead. Using sepia portraits and scraps of letters, Esther pieces together the history of her family, a oncegrand EgyptianJewish clan, and its displacement from Cairo in the 1950s to Israel, Africa, and New York.As the worn photographs yield their secrets, Esther uncovers a rich tale of wives and exwives; revolving mistresses and crushing marriages; desperate intrigues and disappointments; poignant contrasts between the living past and the dead present. In sensuous, inventive prose, Matalon penetrates the mysteries of cultural exile and family life to produce a first novel that is mature, authentic, and finely polished.
