The Bridesman cover

The gripping story of a reunion between two family members

Micha, an Israeli expat in Los Angeles working as a ghostwriter, receives an unexpected invitation. Adella, married to his beloved uncle, has bought him a ticket to Israel and booked a boutique hotel, so that he can return home and meet with her.

Years before, Micha was the bridesman at Adella’s wedding. He remembers her as a rebellious young woman, and orphan and an outsider, who was mocked by his close-knit family of Persian Jews. Micha is stunned by the Adella of today – poised, confident, with nothing of the uneasiness he remembers from the past. When Adella finally reveals the true story of her life, powerful memories resurface in Micha, although nothing can prepare him for the surprise she has in store for him…

With a beguiling cast of characters and their interwoven stories, The Bridesman is a moving tale about family, place, and the unceasing power of the past to reshape our lives and identity.

“With subtlety and grace, Liebrecht depicts how her characters fashion the narratives of their lives out of experiences they don’t understand. This wisp of a story leaves readers with plenty to chew on.” * Publishers Weekly *
“A novel about the price of finding one’s own place in the world.” * Foreword Reviews *
“Masterfully crafted.” * Association of Jewish Libraries *
