MARRIED LIFE by #DavidVogel, a brilliant novel set in 1920s Vienna, is a disturbing & depressing story of a doomed marriage. What I love about contemporaneously written novels is the way they offer a glimpse of a particular time & place through the lens of someone who was actually there, satisfying my nostalgia for an era that I can only experience through literature. Originally written in Hebrew, Dalya Bilu's translation is impeccable.
