]]> http://www.prweb.com/releases/Leora/Skolkin-Smith/prweb473665.htm "Edges O Israel, O Palestine" by Leora Skolkin-Smith, Edited by Grace Paley, A PEN/Faulkner Award Nominee, 2006 http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/01/prweb336961.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 Bialik 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. With her young lover, she escapes to live in the Palestinian world beyond Jerusalem’s border. 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 Jan 26, 2006)
