Reader's comment: 'Hi Marion, You may
recall that I ordered several copies of 'Cherries from the Icebox'
for a study group this winter.
I just want you to know how much we enjoyed using this
book as a stimulus for our discussions - so many interesting
topics
were raised. We really felt that this book gave us a wonderful
introduction to a variety of contemporary Israeli writers
whose work we had not previously read. Particularly in this
celebration of Israel's 60th year it was a perfect way to
look at Israeli contemporary
literature!
We would highly recommend this book to other book groups!
Please feel free to forward this email
to anyone who might be considering buying it for their
own study groups. I'm sure they will find it thought provoking
and satisfying to
read and discuss.
All the best with your future work - please keep me on
any mailing lists you have.
