About the Book

'A gracefully wrought, impressionistic portrait of life in a singular Jerusalem neighbourhood. Steadily perceptive and brimming with informed passion, Hoffman's account opens the shades on one of the most remarkable cities on earth' - Kirkus Review A lyrical evocation of Jerusalem that by focusing in microcosmic detail on the day-to-day rhythms of this close-knit community offers a rich, precise, and refreshingly honest portrait of a city that is often reduced to generalisations and cliches.

About the Author :
Adina Hoffman grew up in New Hampshire and Texas. In 2001 House of Windows was published. Her essays and criticism have appeared in The Washington Post, The Times Literary Supplement, The Boston Globe, New York Newsday, Tin House, CoExist Magazine, The Forward, and on the World Service of the BBC. Formerly a film critic for the American Prospect and The Jerusalem Post, she has worked as an editor and teacher and been visiting professor at Middlebury College and Wesleyan University. She lives in Jerusalem.

Review :
"'The writing is as poignant and layered as the subjects she writes about - and by detailing the ways history and culture play out in the day-to-day lives of the residents of one of the world's most contentious cities, she adds nuance and complexity to a much-studied subject' - Publishers Weekly; 'A gracefully wrought, impressionistic portrait of life in a singular Jerusalem neighbourhood. Steadily perceptive and brimming with informed passion, Hoffman's account opens the shades on one of the most remarkable cities on earth' - Krikus Reviews; 'Her sketches of daily life not only depict a changing community but also raise the issues of identity and exile. Jerusalem beyond the travelogues and the headlines' - Booklist"
