Award-winning Israeli-Canadian author Ayelet Tsabari joins HBI to discuss her debut novel, “Songs for the Brokenhearted,” which explores the experience of contemporary Yemeni Israeli women, the art of Yemeni women’s music, and the terrible legacy of the Yemenite babies’ affair.
Tsabari is the author of the memoir “The Art of Leaving,” finalist for the Writer’s Trust Hilary Weston Prize and The Vine Awards, winner of the Canadian Jewish Literary Award for memoir, and an Apple Books and Kirkus Review Best Book of 2019. Her first book, the story collection “The Best Place on Earth,” won the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature and the Edward Lewis Wallant Award for Jewish Fiction.
“Ayelet Tsabari has written a gorgeous, gripping novel that asks layered questions about history and politics, nation and borders, even as it pays rapt attention to the fabric of daily life. Filled with unforgettable characters, each as flawed and fully human as the next, ‘Songs for the Brokenhearted’ is a gift.”
—Elizabeth Graver, author of “Kantika”
