American immigrants to new section of Jerusalem The Jewish families who live on the west bank in Heavenly Heights live out their commitment to the resettlement of Israel. The descriptions of daily life not a sentimental or overly-idealized; it is hard to live with interrupted water and power, plane and helicopter patrols, and in close proximity to your neighbors. The story, however, is told only from the prospective of the Jewish settlers and rarely mentions the Palestinians. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A first novel written by PEN Discovery Award Winner Risa Miller, Welcome to Heavenly Heights describes a group of American Jews who have left the United States, not just to move to Israel, but to live in a settlement on the West Bank. Miller conjures a culture and a movement--part religion, part pipe dream--viewed through the pinhole of one ragged apartment building's door: its families, their dinners, their weddings, their marriages, their sorrows. While bombs can be heard at the edges of these pages, it is inside the settlement, Heavenly Heights where Miller's delicate, understated prose limns the lives of these tender souls.
