Maya Arad's "Happy New Years"—her first full-length novel to be translated into English (trans. Jessica Cohen)—is not just timely read as we near Rosh Hashanah, but also excellent and moving. Read my review in @thecjn.bsky.social

Book review: Novel tells the story of an Israeli expat’s life through Rosh Hashanah letters
'Against the backdrop of events like the Yom Kippur War, Rabin’s assassination, and 9/11, Leah’s yearly updates capture the quiet persistence of life lived in history’s shadow.'
