WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD AND THE JEWISH FICTION AWARD FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF JEWISH LIBRARIES


A remarkable debut novel written with the fearless imagination of Michael Chabon and the piercing humor of Gary Shteyngart about a small Jewish village in the Polish forest that is so secluded no one knows it exists . . . until now.

What if there was a town that history missed

For decades, the tiny Jewish shtetl of Kreskol existed in happy isolation, virtually untouched and unchanged. Spared by the Holocaust and the Cold War, its residents enjoyed remarkable peace. It missed out on cars, and electricity, and the internet, and indoor plumbing. But when a marriage dispute spins out of control, the whole town comes crashing into the twenty-first century.

Pesha Lindauer, who has just suffered an ugly, acrimonious divorce, suddenly disappears. A day later, her husband goes after her, setting off a panic among the town elders. They send a woefully unprepared outcast named Yankel Lewinkopf out into the wider world to alert the Polish authorities.

Venturing beyond the remote safety of Kreskol, Yankel is confronted by the beauty and the ravages of the modern-day outside world – and his reception is met with a confusing mix of disbelief, condescension, and unexpected kindness. When the truth eventually surfaces, his story and the existence of Kreskol make headlines nationwide.

Returning Yankel to Kreskol, the Polish government plans to reintegrate the town that time forgot. Yet in doing so, the devious origins of its disappearance come to the light. And what has become of the mystery of Pesha and her former husband Divided between those embracing change and those clinging to its old world ways, the people of Kreskol will have to find a way to come together . . . or risk their village disappearing for good.

Yummy Snack - Paleo & AIP Friendly
Flavor Name: Wagyu Beef Steak, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
My husband and I always make sure to have these on hand. I have them on subscription so we never run out. They taste really good, they are on the tougher side, so not super moist to bite into, but the seasonings are great and doesn't contain citric acid or other fillers. Friendly for AIP diets if you can tolerate black pepper. Contains honey also. Really great recipe and they're great to keep in your bag or lunchbox. My husband brings them to work for an easy snack also. Even my kids ask if they can have them from time to time because they love them, but these are mommy and daddy's treats!! Lol!

Soft & Moist
Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2), Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Tried this from a Sam’s Club combo pack of the jerky and like but size nugget deals. LOVED the jerky enough to figure out if I can order just big regular size bags of the jerky. And you can. And I did. The quality of the big bag of jerky is as good, wonderful, soft, moist, as the little small snack size bags I tried to Sam’s Club. If you like soft jerky that is not super chewy, and that does not get stuck in your teeth unless you are really trying, I would definitely recommend this
