The Wholeness
of a Broken Heart
Katie Singer
The moving story of four generations of Jewish women, narrated in their own voices,
spanning two continents, and viewed through a contemporary American mother-daughter
relationship.
Like Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club, The Wholeness of a
Broken Heart offers an understanding of the immigrant experience through the
stories of women who, in Katie Singer's novel, hold the world together. Here, Singer
brings vivid life to an all-but-forgotten world, as she illuminates our contemporary
one. $33.99.
Saying Kaddish:
How to Comfort the Dying,
Bury the Dead and Mourn as a Jew
Anita Diamant
Practical guidance and spiritual solace for life's hardest moments, by the author
of The New Jewish Wedding.
Anita Diamant's knowledge, sensitivity and clarity have made her one of the most
respected writers of guides to Jewish life. In Saying Kaddish, Diamant explores
the Jewish practices that attend the end of life from the sickroom to the funeral
to the week, month and year that follow, showing us how to make Judaism's time-honoured
rituals of death and bereavement into personal, meaningful sources of comfort. Additional
chapters cover special situations such as caring for grieving children, mourning
the death of a child, neonatal loss, suicide and the death of non-Jewish loved ones.
$19.95.
