Holy Lands

In "Holy Lands," a witty epistolary novel, an estranged Jewish family navigates their complex relationships amid quirky circumstances. At the center is Harry Rosenmerck, an aging cardiologist who has traded his New York medical career for pig farming in Israel, while his ex-wife Monique reflects on their past amid personal struggles. Their children, David and Annabelle, confront their own challenges—theater aspirations and post-breakup dislocation—while attempting to reconnect with their father through humorous snail-mail exchanges. This heartwarming tale captures the levity and poignancy of familial ties stretched across distance and differing worldviews.
