Join us on Monday, March 14th at 7:30pm as we discuss All My Mother’s Lovers by Ilana Masad.  Twenty-seven-year-old Maggie Krause returns home when her mother dies unexpectedly in a car crash, only to discover a withdrawn dad, an angry brother, and, along with the mother’s will, five sealed envelopes, each addressed to a mysterious man she’s never heard of.

In an effort to run from her own grief Maggie embarks on a road trip, determined to hand-deliver the letters and find out what these men meant to her mother. Maggie quickly discovers Iris’s second, hidden life, which shatters everything Maggie thought she knew about her parents’ perfect relationship. Told over the course of a funeral and shiva, All My Mother's Lovers is a unique meditation on family ties and grief, and a tender and biting portrait of sex, gender, and identity

Our plan is to meet in person at the temple, fully masked with a ZOOM option, but will update you on as the date gets closer.

Copies will be available at the Oak Park Public Library, but please call in advance to make sure they are in.

ANYONE AND EVERYONE IS WELCOME… you don't have to be a woman, just need a desire to talk about great Jewish books!  Join us and see what a fun group of people we are! For more information contact Sheila Pont at swpont@gmail.com
