WEEPING SUSANNAH by ALONA KIMHI
|
SummarySusannah Rabin can't stand people, or is that they can't
stand her? Either way, she'd rather cocoon herself in the
tiny apartment she shares with her devoted, overbearing
mother than face the excruciating torment of human
contact." So when Susannah's mother tells her that their
American cousin Neo is coming to stay, Susannah is
apprehensive, or more precisely, she is horrified. And
rightly so. Straight away the guest - as she likes to call
him - begins to worm his way into her mother's affections,
and - worse - to destroy Susannah's carefully constructed
solitude. And then one day, the guest offers to teach her
how to draw. Susannah can't help but be captivated by the
fascinating world of her enigmatic, beautiful cousin. But
because people are contrary and life is like that,
Susannah's mother - responsible after all for the guest's
presence - becomes anxious at their growing friendship, and
asks the obvious question: what exactly is Neo doing in
Israel?
