1. Paper Is White
Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1990s San Francisco, this poignant narrative follows Ellen Margolis, a Jewish oral historian, as she navigates the complexities of love, memory, and identity. As Ellen prepares to marry her partner Francine, she becomes entangled in the stories of Holocaust survivors, particularly one elderly woman whose past holds secrets that resonate with Ellen's own life. The novel explores themes of cultural heritage, the weight of history, and the enduring power of love, weaving a rich tapestry of personal and collective memory that challenges the boundaries of tradition and modernity.
