| Description: | Select Guide Rating A gloriously evocative memoir of one family’s journey from Samarkand and Riga to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. <p><b>A gorgeous, evocative memoir of family, food and migration. </b><br><br>As a child, Or Rosenboim’s knowledge of her family history was based on the food her grandmothers cooked for her – round kneidlach balls in hot chicken broth, cinnamon-scented noodle kugel, stuffed vine leaves, herby green rice with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and aubergine in tomato sauce. She knew that her family had a complex past but it was only reading her grandmothers’ recipe books after they both died that she began to explore that past for the first time.<br><br>The result is a vivid chronicle of displacement and escape, retracing the complex network of journeys her family took from Samarkand and Riga to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in search of safety and a better life, punctuated by the food they ate and cooked along the way. Today, though, these journeys, and this long tradition of migration, would now be almost impossible.<br><br>A beguiling mixture of history, memoir, travel and food, <i>Air and Love </i>is also a fresh and deeply human retelling of some of the major stories of the twentieth century.</p> |
