His passing left her feeling rootless, devastated, and driven to question her complex identity as an Israeli of Yemeni descent in a country that suppressed and devalued her ancestors' traditions. In The "Art of Leaving, Ayelet tells her story, from her early love of writing and words, to her rebellion during her mandatory service in the Israeli army. She travels from Israel to New York, to Canada, Thailand, and India, falling in and out of love with countries, men and women, drugs and alcohol, running away from responsibilities and refusing to settle in one place. She recounts her first marriage; her struggle to define herself as a writer in a new language; her decision to become a mother; and finally her rediscovery and embrace of her family history--a history marked by generations of headstrong women who struggled to choose between their hearts and their homes. Eventually, she realizes that she must come to terms with the memories of her father, the sadness of her past, and overcome her fears if she is ever going to come to terms with herself. With fierce, emotional prose, Tsabari crafts a beautiful meditation about the lengths we will travel to try to escape our grief; the universal search to find a place where we belong; and the sense of home we eventually find within ourselves"--Page [4] of cover. 600 10 $a Tsabari, Ayelet, $d 1973- 650 0 $a Jewish women authors $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Families $v Biography. 650 0 $a Grief $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 7 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314020149.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014020.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806023700.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20190627011426.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20190614010942.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190402012810.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190307010117.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AE41482840A611E9BD22A04597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
