Searching: A Novel

By Rochel Istrin
Publisher: Targum Press, 2010

In one day, Zelda Levine s cozy world is split asunder...

Young and feisty Zelda must escape to far-off America when anti-Semitic villagers falsely accuse her of espionage. She must leave behind her two small children, Yosseleh and Ruchka, her violinist husband Leizer and life as she s known it. With the outbreak of World War II, Leizer s plans to join Zelda in America are destroyed; instead, he and the children escape into the Polish forests and join a group of partisans.

But even there, the family is not destined to remain together. When the war finally ends, Zelda returns to the blood-soaked soil of Europe, searching for a family that was.

Ruchka finds refuge during the chaos, too young to remember her mother. Zelda, Leizer, Yosseleh, and Ruchka are each left alone searching. Will they ever be reunited? Will they ever piece together their life as they knew it?

In this gripping tale, debut novelist Rochel Istrin mesmerizes readers with a riveting historical backdrop, endearing characters, and a breathtaking plot. Searching is a book you will remember long after the final page is turned, as you join the Levines in their search for each other and for themselves.
