About

Lily Taub is the brilliant, beautiful and headstrong American daughter of Holocaust survivors. Seeking relief from their traumatized world, Lily escapes to Oxford University, where she meets Julian Aiken, black sheep of an aristocratic English family. When Lily is invited to the family's ancestral home over Christmas vacation, her deepening romance with young Julian is crossed by a shocking accident that affects them all. Julian must face the harsh disapproval of his anti-Semitic family, who consider Lily a destructive force, not only in Julian's life, but to their own sense of order. In the King's Arms is a lyrical, literary novel about the healing possibility of love.

Reviews

"Taitz zigzags among her culturally disparate characters, zooming in on their foibles with elegance and astringency. She keenly pinpoints the ways children filter their parents' identities; embracing what works, discarding what doesn't and then moving on. Or not."
Sunday New York Times Book Review of In the King's Arms
"Sonia Taitz weaves a witty, literate, and heartfelt story filled with engaging characters and relationships. The reader is moved by and invested in Lily's realization of who she is, where she comes from, and her hopes for a more tolerant and healed world."
Renita Last, Jewish Book World
