Songs for the Brokenhearted
Description
Spanning generations and continents, this evocative debut follows Zohara, a Yemeni Israeli woman who returns home from New York after her mother’s death and is drawn into the untold story of her family. As she uncovers a forbidden romance from the early years of Israel, long-buried secrets reshape her understanding of her parents, her heritage, and the choices that define her own life. Rich with Yemeni Jewish history, music, and unforgettable family dynamics, the novel explores mother-daughter bonds, cultural displacement, belonging, and the complicated inheritance of memory. Lyrical and emotionally compelling, it is a powerful portrait of love and identity amid the upheavals of immigration and homecoming.
