The heroine of Moskovits-Weiss new novel is a shy, stuttering librarian, who turns into a detective, when she sets out to investigate the tragic death of her glamorous older sister.
What starts as a family drama engenders a mystery beyond the borderlines of the inidividual and the family, while the larger story of Tel Aviv in the 1950 is described so touchingly and magically.
Ela Moskovits-Weiss studied Hebrew literature at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and Communication at the Boston University. Written on the Sea is her fourth book.
