Call #: FICTION GIL Subjects Jews -- Ireland -- Identity -- Fiction.   Jews -- Ireland -- Fiction.   Families -- Fiction.   Immigrants -- Fiction.   Women journalists -- Fiction.   Jews -- Identity -- Fiction.   Jews -- Fiction.   London (England) -- Fiction.   Ireland -- History -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781941040492 (pbk.) Edition:  First U.S. edition. Description:  336 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "Three intertwining voices span the twentieth century to tell the unknown story of the Jews in Ireland. A heartbreaking portrait of what it means to belong, and how storytelling can redeem us all. At 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."--Amazon.com.
