Evan Fallenberg
From acclaimed author Evan Fallenberg, an exquisitely crafted debut novel tells the story of a preeminent male ballet dancer in the autumn of his careerâ€”a Jew whose talent once saved him from the Nazisâ€”whose fading passion for life will flare back to life after a new romance links him to a younger woman fleeingÂ the ghosts of her past as an Israeli Soldier. Fallenbergâ€™s Tel Aviv-set tale that will resonate with readers of Wladyslaw Szpilmanâ€™s ,The Pianist,, Dalia Soferâ€™s, The Septembers of Shiraz,, and Thrity Umrigarâ€™s ,The Space Between Us,, as well as any who have been touched by war or diaspora, as two charactersâ€™ intimate journey poignantly explores the pain of fractured pasts, the hope for second chances, the potency of artistic catharsis, and the certainty that love can conquer all.
