Book Doctor: A Novel
Arlette Rosen earns her living helping strangers with their book ideas – she believes she knows a good book from a bad one, and believes that all writers should aim to be a Joyce or a Proust. But when Harbinger Singh enters her life needing help with his writing, both their lives are altered forever.
Counterpoint 2006
“Reminds us of the grace to be found in storytelling and a call to open ourselves up to the tale at hand.”
“Fluent, funny and true, it will particularly appeal to writers and those who must suffer them.”
NO CHARGE FOR LOOKING
No Charge for Looking is one of my lifetime obsessions: Jews, Arabs, the city of Nazareth, and a naive American woman trying hard to understand what she sees.
Schocken Books 1984
“Rare is the novelist who tells a fair and funny story about Arabs and Jews.”
“This evocative, seriocomic first novel....shows aspects of Israel one doesn’t read about in the newspapers and few tourists see.”
“The delightful tale of a young feminists’s odyssey to Nazareth, feeds us insight into the Arab and Israeli way of life that so many American travelers miss....Not only is this novel insightful , it’s also light-hearted and humorous.”
