Remember to Eat and Other StoresAuthor(s): Meryl Ain\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Simon And Schuster Group USA\nImprint: Sparkpress\nISBN-13: 9781684633401, 978-1684633401\nSynopsis\nFollowing a Jewish family from before World War II to the not-too-distant future, this collection of loosely linked short stories explores the experiences of Marjorie, a baby boomer; her mother, Alice; and the friends and family that make up their community over the decades. As they each pursue higher education and choose career paths, both mother and daughter encounter challenges as they make choices within a changing society from in-law problems to illness to antisemitism and beyond. Sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, Remember to Eat takes on themes including patriarchy, technology, the changing role of women, the challenges of raising children, the COVID-19 pandemic, complex family relationships, and what it means to be a Jew with empathy and insight. Ultimately, the twenty-two stories containe.
