An Egyptian Novel (Hebrew Literature)

An Egyptian Novel (Hebrew Literature)

The protagonist has Egyptian roots going back many generations: on her fatherâ€™s side, to the expulsion of the Jews of Spain in 1492, when seven brothers of the Kastil family (from Castilla) landed on the Gaza coast after many trials and tribulations. Her motherâ€™s side goes back even further, to the only family that Jewish history has ignored: the ones who said â€œNoâ€ to Moses and stayed in Egypt. After migrating to Israel in the 1950s and settling on a kibbutzâ€•from which they were soon expelled for Stalinismâ€•this storied clan moved to Tel Aviv. In this unconventional family saga, Orly Castel-Bloom blends fact with fiction, history with legend, reimagining the lives of her forebears in unforgettable prose.
