Dana von Suffrin's novel “Again”: a terribly nice family. In it she tells of a family quake between Munich and Tel Aviv.
The author packs the big truths into banalities such as her mother's hand mirror, which Rosa looks into until tears stream down her cheeks. “No one ever reminds us how short time is, so we never have the opportunity to pause and consider it precious, after all, we are busy trampling each other, being offended, or having migraines “.
