BEING ESTHER

Esther Lustig is old Jewish woman, and she's getting older every day. Having lost her husband and the majority of her friends, Esther is currently living on memories, and doing her best to avoid her daughter's "suggestion" that she move out of her apartment and into a retirement community. Esther's adventures and, more importantly, her devilishly delightful voice will keep you riveted and take you somewhere you had no idea you were going - the ending is truly surprising, satisfying, and triumphant. With a laugh out loud sense of humor and punch-in-the-gut sense of reality, debut author Miriam has created a character that is highly relatable and completely unforgettable.
