Crossroads of the Year - Lior Engelman

Hebrew Book Edition

Crossroads of the Year is a collection of Hebrew short stories by Lior Engelman, author of the bestselling novel Ladder of Thieves, whose characters reappear here in new and surprising light.

A family gets stuck on the road on Passover eve and must hold their seder by the roadside. A retired man loses his role leading prayers during the High Holidays, and with it his place in the world. A soldier who lost his leg learns to dance again during the Counting of the Omer. An intelligence officer carries the guilt of a disaster on his shoulders and longs for atonement. A couple whose son lies in a coma hope for the Purim miracle of "the tables turning," while the matriarch of the Tayeb family asks her sons to fulfill one last vow.

These are the characters of Crossroads of the Year, Hebrew stories following the arc of the Jewish year, some searching for home, others for love, others for forgiveness. As in Engelman's novels, this Hebrew book is marked by deep human compassion, a strong belief in the possibility of healing, and a longing for repair, offering readers unexpected perspective, comfort, and insight.
