"A story about the bonds of friendship and family.... [W]ith lush and insightful prose... a foreign landscape and culture becomes warm and familiar." -Amy Sue Nathan, author ofThe Good NeighborandThe Glass Wives It's 2006 in a seaside village in Israel, where a war is brewing. Lauren, Emily, Aviva and Rachel, four memorable women from different backgrounds, are living abroad in the coastal town. Lauren, a maternity nurse, loves her Israeli doctor husband but struggles to make a home for herself in a foreign land miles away from her beloved Boston. Seeking a fresh start after divorce, her vivacious friend Emily follows. Strong, sensuous Aviva, brought to Israel years earlier by intelligence work, has raised a family and now lost a son. And Rachel, a beautiful, idealistic college graduate from Wyoming, arrives with her hopeful dreams. The women forge a friendship that sustains them as they come to terms with love and loss, and the outbreak of war. Their intimate bond is strengthened by their participation in a traditional ritual that closes the circle of life. As their lives are slowly transformed, each finds unexpected strength and resilience. Brimming with wisdom, rich in meaningful insights,A Remarkable Kindnessis a moving testament to women's friendship, illuminating a mostly unknown ritual that underscores what it means to truly be alive.
