Rachel Caplin, THE SPOON AND THE SEA: A Novel

Zibby interviews author Rachel Caplin about THE SPOON AND THE SEA, a gorgeous, richly woven historical novel about memory, identity, motherhood, and the tangled threads of family across continents and generations. Rachel shares the extraordinary true family story that inspired the book and how writing helped her navigate profound grief after losing her grandmother. She also talks about her unlikely path to authorship from Australia to Israel, her experience navigating the publishing world as an Israeli debut author, and the community that rallied around her.
