Ashes and Other Stories cover

"The short stories in Naomi Shepherd's collection ASHES are a delight... an anatomy of Israeli society, a species of social tragi-comedy." (Alan Isler)

Naomi Shepherd is a prize-winning historian and biographer; here she turns her hand to fiction, revealing a razor-sharp eye, a finely attuned ear, and a keen sense of cultural dissonance. In each of these thirteen stories we see a different facet of a fast-changing country where the clash of cultures and of expectations creates situations rich in humour, poignancy, disappointment, and tragedy.
