]]> Sun, 04 Feb 2007 08:00:00 GMThttp://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/02/prweb502437.htm Award-Winning Novel, 'Edges, O Israel, O Palestine' http://www.prweb.com/releases/Leora/Skolkin-Smith/prweb412420.htm Novelists Oscar Hijuelos and Katharine Weber rave about Leora Skolkin-Smith's debut novel, Edges, a story set in pre-1967 Israel and Palestine. Narrator Liana Barish is fourteen years old when her American father's suicide forces her family to leave their New York suburb and return to her mother's native Jerusalem. Although tensions simmer beneath the surface of this divided land, Liana's mother longs to reunite with relatives and the beloved homeland that her family fought for as part of the 1940's Haganah (the Jewish underground). For Liana however, the beauty and turmoil of this land becomes a place of sexual and emotional self-discovery. There, she grows away from her intense relationship with her mother into a womanhood formed by the boundary-less spaces of a lost geography and people. (PRWeb Jul 17, 2006)
