Fiction by Emuna Elon
“Don’t ever go to Amsterdam,” Yoel Blum’s mother warned him strenuously. But as an internationally best selling author whose book was recently translated into Dutch, it seems a trip to Amsterdam is suddenly inevitable. And, after all, his mother died years ago. So Yoel and his wife board the plane and fly there from Jerusalem.
In Amsterdam he will discover the secret that his mother never wanted him to know, a secret that goes all the way back to his infancy in the middle of a world war. And of course, being a writer, he will be compelled to write about it.
This was a good book that gave me a lot to think about.
