The Book Stall (811 Elm Street in Winnetka) welcomes author Judy Lev to the store on Monday, October 27 at 6:30 pm for a discussion featuring her new book, Bethlehem Road: Stories of Immigration and Exile. The twelve stories in this collection—often emotional, sometimes funny—convey the power, magic, and pain of place and examines one iconic street in Jerusalem where immigrants young and old struggle to find themselves between the years 1967 and 1999. Readers will be drawn to these poignant stories and their quirky cast of characters.
