The Worlds We Think We Know

The characters of The Worlds We Think We Know are swept up by forces beyond their control: war, adulthood, family-and their own emotions, as powerful as the sandstorm that gusts through these stories. In Ohio, a college student cruelly enlists the help of the boy who loves her to attract the attention of her own crush. In Israel, a young American woman visits an uncommunicative Holocaust survivor and falls in love with a soldier. And, from an unnamed Eastern European country, a woman haunts the husband who left her behind for a new life in New York City.

The Worlds We Think We Know is a dazzling fiction debut, fiercely funny and entirely original.
