Wherever You Go by Joan Leegant

5.0

This was an interesting redemption/coming of age hard story that enfolds in the stories of three characthers: Yona Stern, who has come to Israel to make amends with her radicalized settler sister, Dena and to come to terms with both her past mistakes and her future path. David Greenglass, who converted to Orthodoxy in order to save his own life from his drug dealing past, is now facing a crisis of faith and returns to a teach position in Jerusalem after attempting to make amends with his unOrthodox parents and his hopelessly drug addicted ex-girlfriend. Aaron Blinder is trying to outrun his father's shadow, a famous writer who uses the Holocaust to fuel his writing career, by joining up with a domestic terrorist cell. All three are swept up into a devastating terrorist event in strikingly different results.

I really enjoyed the three different viewpoints which mirror the tumultuous political and social situation in the Israeli state.
