Be the first to enter the world of the novel "Scarred Stone"
My debut novel traces the world of the women of the House of Israel in Ethiopia – to roots, faith, loss, silence and intergenerational female power.
“Scarred Stone” is a literary novel that was born out of a promise to my mother and out of a desire to return a voice to the story before the immigration: the life in the Jewish villages in Ethiopia, the women who held families and the community together, and the scars that became a source of strength over the years.
Through the character of Nagasti, the novel opens a gate to a world of memory, longing, love, pain and faith – a world that wants to be heard anew.
