My WorksBoundaries
While vacationing with her children near the tip of Long Island, a young Jewish widow with three children meets a local potter, born in Germany, the son of a wartime Nazi. Despite their very different backgrounds they are attracted to each other,but barriers, within themselves and without, threaten their relationship. "BOUNDARIES is a wise novel about complex people with complex histories, needs, and hopes.' -- Gail Godwin Beginning the World Again
"It's rare to come upon a novel that confronts a subject so large. Roberta Silman has done a truly masterful job of bringing together the complex parts of the Los Alamos story--the science, the history, the place, the personal lives." --Helen Del Monte, Fiction Editor, McCall's Blood Relations
“[Here is]...the great joy and suffering...that come from being attached to places, to things, to other people...When we are told the ego...is the proper stage, Roberta Silman is giving back the reader history, in all its connections: soil, blood, tribe, family.” --Melvin Maddocks The Dream Dredger
In language...clear and deeply felt, Roberta Silman explores the paradoxes of Lise Branson’s life and fate. Against the background of the Hudson River and its rich lore, she gives us a portrait of a woman whose exemplary life is really a continual act of bravery. |
