The book: Songs for the Brokenhearted by Ayelet Tsabari
About the Book
A young Yemeni Israeli woman uncovers her mother’s long-hidden romance, setting off a journey through family secrets, identity, and belonging.
Set between the 1950s and 1990s, Songs for the Brokenhearted intertwines the lives of Saida, a young Yemeni immigrant in Israel, and her daughter Zohara, who returns from New York after her mother’s death. As Zohara unearths the truth about her family’s past, she confronts questions of love, loss, and what it means to belong.
Blending personal drama with a painful chapter in Israeli history—the mass aliyah and absorption of Yemenite Jews—Tsabari’s novel explores the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter and the enduring power of story and song.
