How well do we even know ourselves? When our parents stand in the limelight of history, how do we ever step out of their shadow? In <em>Snapshots<\/em>, a bold and provocative novel about love, war, the devastation of loss, and trying to find yourself when the world around you is in chaos, award-winning Israeli author Michal Govrin addresses these questions and creates a masterpiece of world literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Snapshots<\/em> opens with the news that Ilana Tsuriel, a beautiful and brash architect, has died in a car crash in Germany. Her estranged husband, a renowned scholar of the Holocaust, asks Ilana\u2019s friend Tirtsa to sort through some of her papers. \u201cYou\u2019ll know what to do with them,\u201d he tells her. Ilana\u2019s notes spring to life, including letters to her father, a diary of her relationship with her husband, and the very private story of Ilana\u2019s troubled romance with a Palestinian man named Sayyid. The book also includes the author\u2019s own photos and hand-drawn pictures illustrating Ilana\u2019s travels through America and Israel, creating an interactive reading experience that brings Ilana to life in a unique and innovative way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With passion and tenderness for her characters, and deep insight into the soul of her native country, Michal Govrin weaves an exquisite tapestry. <em>Snapshots<\/em> transcends political and geographical boundaries to get to the root of what makes us all human as we embrace love in a world that provides no easy answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-744389dd-b1ec-4313-a649-ee47ade7fcac\" href=\"https:\/\/new.michalgovrin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/hevzekim-syn2.pdf\"><br><strong>Snapshots book description<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/new.michalgovrin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/hevzekim-syn2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-744389dd-b1ec-4313-a649-ee47ade7fcac\"><strong>Download<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"569\" height=\"699\" src=\"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/\u05e8\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05dd-\u05d4\u05db\u05e0\u05d4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/\u05e8\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05dd-\u05d4\u05db\u05e0\u05d4-1.jpg 569w, https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/\u05e8\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05dd-\u05d4\u05db\u05e0\u05d4-1-244x300.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Preparation sketch by Michal Govrin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"884\" src=\"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/\u05e8\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05dd-\u05d4\u05db\u05e0\u05d4-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/\u05e8\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05dd-\u05d4\u05db\u05e0\u05d4-2.jpg 611w, https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/\u05e8\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05dd-\u05d4\u05db\u05e0\u05d4-2-207x300.jpg 207w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Preparation sketch by Michal Govrin: the Monument site in Jerusalem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5129,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[102,101],"tags":[103,107,104,105,106],"class_list":["post-4867","publications","type-publications","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-literature-en","category-novels-en","tag-feminine-en","tag-generations","tag-jerusalem","tag-myth","tag-shmita-release"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publications\/4867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publications"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publications"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michalgovrin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
