Shadows We Carry
“When I finished Shadows We Carry by Meryl Ain, I cried. Reading this book was akin to going home . . . . To say it is moving is an understatement. For many readers, the tale of twin sisters Bronka and JoJo will be an eye-opener to Jewish life in a New York gone by. Bravo.”
—Marilyn Simon Rothstein, author of Crazy To Leave You,
Husbands and Other Sharp Objects, and Lift and Separate

The Takeaway Men
“At a time when the darkness of the Holocaust is being whitewashed, Meryl Ain’s remarkable debut novel illuminates the postwar Jewish American landscape like a truth-seeking torch. An emotionally rich and lovingly told saga of survivors, with great sensitivity to what was lost, buried, and resurrected.”
Thane Rosenbaum, author of The Golems of Gotham,
Second Hand Smoke, and Elijah Visible
