ISBN: 9781782398561.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the start of the twentieth century, a young girl and her family emigrate from Lithuania in search of a better life in America, only to land on the Emerald Isle instead. In 1958, a mute Jewish boy locked away in a mental institution outside of Dublin forms an unlikely friendship with a man consumed by the story of the love he lost nearly two decades earlier. And in present-day London, an Irish journalist is forced to confront her conflicting notions of identity and family when her Jewish boyfriend asks her to make a true leap of faith. These three arcs, which span generations and intertwine in revelatory ways, come together to tell the haunting story of Ireland’s all-but-forgotten Jewish community. Ruth Gilligan’s beautiful and heartbreaking Nine Folds Make a Paper Swan explores the question of just how far we will go to understand who we really are, and to feel at home in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44951906287669,"sku":"ByrdShop_1782398562","price":59.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781782398561_fd574c83-229e-4766-99f7-a56653541b92.jpg?v=1778892004","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/nine-folds-make-a-paper-swan-9781782398561","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
