Back cover:
Following the death of her lifelong friend, professor Mimi Zilber sets off on a journey to discover how she came to this lonely place in her life, and why she runs from the opportunity to love.
The Bone Weaver is a blend of history and fiction created around three generations of women—beginning with Mimi's Great-grandmother Malka—and their struggles to survive pogroms, illness and the violence of shtetl life in 19th Century eastern Europe. By taking apart the family tapestry thread by thread, and then studying these women and their daily lives of uncertainty, tragedy and joy, Mimi learns important lessons about courage and the will to survive. And in her discovery of what makes these women remarkable, she also discovers herself.
VICTORIA ZACKHEIM is a freelance writer whose fiction and non-fiction have appeared in numerous American and French publications. Ms. Zackheim currently lives in San Francisco.

Edited to add on Nov. 1, 2015 that this book is now reserved as my #2 One book a month in November.

The Bone Weaver was my #2 November offer in One book a month thread and won by alexiapapa in the draw. Mailed the book today but don't know how long it'll travel to Greece since there's postal strike here. But it'll get there, eventually.
Happy Reading!

Thank you very much for the book...it's safe!
