<p>Congratulations to author Zeeva Bukai for winning a National Jewish Book Award from the Jewish Book Council for her novel&nbsp;<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-44187507" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Anatomy of Exile</em>.</a>&nbsp;On our episode, we spoke about her new book,&nbsp;<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-44187282" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The World Between</em>,</a>&nbsp;which is a slim, powerful narrative about a woman who travels to Tel Aviv to the home where she first started her marriage and revisits later in her life. It’s about mental health, the after-effects of World War II, recovery, mistakes, lost love, shame, survival, and healing. It’s really short and definitely worth reading: immersive, thought-provoking, soulful. I can’t stop thinking about it — and was thrilled to hear she won the award!&nbsp;</p><br><p>Share, rate, &amp; review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!</p><p>** <strong>Check out the Z.I.P. membership program—Zibby’s Important People! </strong>As a Z.I.P., you’ll get&nbsp;<strong>exclusive essays, special author access, discounts at Zibby’s Bookshop, and more</strong>. <strong>Head to&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://zibbyowens.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>zibbyowens.com</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;to subscribe or upgrade and become a Z.I.P. today!</strong></p><p>** Follow <a href="www.instagram.com/totallybookedwithzibby" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@totallybookedwithzibby</a> on Instagram for more about today's episode. </p><br><p><em>(Music by </em><a href="https://www.morningmoon.com/music" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Morning Moon Music</em></a><em>.
