Virtual Launch Party & Other Updates!

March 20, 2020 by Daniella Levy Leave a Comment

Hello there. I hope this finds you healthy and safe, wherever in the world you may be. Here in Israel we are more or less in lockdown, with all schools, non-essential businesses, and borders closed, and citizens ordered to stay at home. I have the enormous fortune of being able to work from home for […]

Disengagement Launches Today!

March 4, 2020 by Daniella Levy Leave a Comment

Dear Daniella’s subscribers, I am told it is a sacred tradition for the characters of a Daniella Levy novel to announce the release of their own book. I conducted my own research on the matter and discovered that this has only been done once. “Tradition” is therefore something of an exaggeration in this context. However, […]

October 27, 2019 by Daniella Levy 2 Comments

Well, dear friends, the advance review copies of Disengagement have arrived! At my publishers’, that is. I’m not expecting to get my hands on any of these; I’m hoping they all find their way to Very Fancy Reviewers who will subsequently be bedazzled by my literary prowess. Or at least not throw the book across […]

Interview on Radio Sefarad & A Few Other Updates

December 19, 2018 by Daniella Levy Leave a Comment

screenshot of Radio Sefarad web page with the heading, "Daniella Levy--Letters to Josep: Judaism, as told to a Christian Friend"

I’m going to share a state secret with you: speaking with strangers on the phone is way up there on the list of Things That Terrify Me, somewhere in between “nuclear Holocaust” and “bank statements.” (The distance between those two items on the list is shorter than you might imagine.) But I believe in doing […]

In other times, they would never have met. They come from different corners of Israeli society, rooted in their own beliefs, busy with their own troubles. Farmers and fishermen, skeptics and believers, immigrants and natives, children and grandparents struggle with faith, loss, jealousy, hope—and the turmoil around them only deepens the rifts that divide them.
