Henna House by Nomi Eve
Set in the early 20th century, this evocative tale follows the life of a young Jewish girl named Adela Damari in Yemen, where the threat of the "Confiscator" looms over families unable to produce a male heir. As Adela navigates the complexities of her cultural heritage, she finds solace and strength in the ancient art of henna, which becomes a symbol of resilience and identity. Through the bonds of family, friendship, and tradition, the story explores themes of love, loss, and the enduring power of community in the face of adversity.
