Victorious, Yishai Sarid (translated by Yardenne Greenspan)

This book, one of the best that I've read this year, captured me on page one; it is simultaneously moving and thought-provoking, providing a  different perspective on the IDF or any army aiming toward ethical  values while protecting its citizens, but I will let our customer tell  you about it:

 

This is a compelling book that leaves you with many emotions and  philosophical questions to ponder. Victorious, by Yishai Sarid, is an  extremely powerful novel about a middle-aged Israeli psychologist who  has spent her life studying, teaching, and treating soldiers to feel  comfortable killing. Told through her personal story of how she faces  her own life, this novel forces you to look at the culture of war and  the connections between power, love, and vulnerability.

David recommends: Mezcla: Recipe to Excite, Ixta Belfrage

Widely hailed as one of the best cookbooks of the past 12 months for its  clever fusion of flavours and combination of ingredients, the recipes  are helpfully divided into quick and long preparation and cooking times.  My personal favourites are Piri Piri Tofu with Crispy Orzo, and Chiles  Rellenos with Salsa Roja Risotto. Prepare to wow everyone you know!

Carey recommends: The Brass Charm, Monique Polak; Marie Lafrance, illustrator

Polak returns with what may be one of her best books yet: a story that  reminds children that kindness and perseverance are two of the most  important qualities a human being can possess. Tali's grandmother hosts  Tali in her apartment after a storm demolishes Tali's house, telling her  granddaughter of her Holocaust survival, including details about a  brass monkey charm, her talisman, thus putting this temporary setback  into perspective. In a note, Polak explains how the book was inspired by  her mother’s actual experience at Terezin, a Nazi concentration camp.  Ages 5 to 9.
