Paper's Life
Gevanim publishing, 2010
The story of a deep-rooted Jerusalem family during WW2 and the War of Independence of Israel, as seen through the eyes of the little girl, who does not know her father, as he joined the British Army in WW2 just when she was born. During this period, the only contact between the father and the family in Jerusalem were hundreds of letters.
These authentic original letters and the memories from the besieged Jerusalem in 1948, blended with fantasies and imaginary events, are the background and the colors of the story of the little girl whose father is far away.
The girl's story and the letters illuminate life in the shadows of war, difficulties of migration, factionalism and economic distress as well as the mother's struggle to raise the children alone in the unstable years of pre-establishment of the state of Israel.
