The Lightness of Air

In 1920, after leaving their home in Russia, the brothers Samuel and Isaac Harris arrive on the shores of America. They each carry a battered brown suitcase containing their only possessions. The following year, Yetta, Samuel's bride, follows him, bringing with her his mother's silver candlesticks.

As past and present collide, new friendships are formed and characters reappear who will bring her face to face with the hard truth of forgiveness and the transformative power of love.Helena's extraordinary journey takes her from Poland to Paris, New York to the Middle East, and to the winelands of Paarl in South Africa. She will linger in your memory long after you have turned the last page.
