Informative and accessible, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew has a unique structure: Acho asks questions and Tishby answers them with deeply personal, historical, and political responses. This book will enable anyone to explain—and identify—what Jewish hatred looks like. It is a much-needed lexicon for this fraught moment in Jewish history.

This is an incredible, game changing book. And it is very engaging and entertaining to read. They do a great job of saying so much succinctly.
The authors had the courage to have real conversations and ask the hard questions about stereotypes.
I wish this was required reading for all college students and ethnic studies courses.
It is probably one of best book ever written for the masses on antisemitism and addressing misperceptions about zionism.

On one extraordinary day in 1940, Miriam Talan’s comfortable life is shattered. While she gives birth to her second child, a son she and her husband, Max, name Monya, the Soviets invade the Baltic state of Latvia and occupy the capital city of Riga, her home. Because the Talans are Jewish, the Soviets confiscate Max’s business and the family’s house and bank accounts, leaving them with nothing.

Excellent virtually untold story of the Jews of Latvia

A must read for this genre. Also sheds light on the horros of the soviet occupation in addition to the heinous annihilation of most Latvian Jews by the Nazis and their Latvian collaborators.

From the author of Jerusalem Maiden comes a mesmerizing, thought-provoking novel that tells the riveting story of an American woman—the daughter of Holocaust survivors—who travels to Russia shortly after the fall of communism, and finds herself embroiled in a perilous mafia conspiracy that could irrevocably destroy her life.

Interesting topic but contrived
Reviewed: 01-28-23
I love Talia Carner but this book was somewhat disappointing. The topic was very interesting as were the historical details. However, it felt stereotyped and contrived throughout.
Far too much idealization of America and the American woman. Worth reading if you are a fan but nowhere as good as Jerusalem Maiden and Third Daughter.
