On Her Own, a novel by Lihi Lap
Set in Tel Aviv over the course of a few charged weeks, On Her Own follows Nina, a teenage runaway who finds unexpected refuge with Carmela, a lonely widow battling memory loss. Mistaken for Carmela’s long-lost granddaughter, Nina seizes the chance to escape her past. As Carmela’s son Itamar grapples with guilt from afar and Nina’s mother Irina launches a desperate search, these intertwined lives reveal how love and redemption can grow in the most unlikely places. A suspenseful and emotionally rich novel about identity, memory, and the deep human need for connection.
