A heartbreaking portrait of what it means to belong, and how storytelling can redeem us all.\u003c\/p\u003e At the start of the twentieth century, a young girl and her family emigrate from Lithuania in search of a better life in America, only to land on the Emerald Isle instead. In 1958, a mute Jewish boy locked away in a mental institution outside of Dublin forms an unlikely friendship with a man consumed by the story of the love he lost nearly two decades earlier. And in present-day London, an Irish journalist is forced to confront her conflicting notions of identity and family when her Jewish boyfriend asks her to make a true leap of faith. These three arcs, which span generations and intertwine in revelatory ways, come together to tell the haunting story of Ireland’s all-but-forgotten Jewish community. Ruth Gilligan’s beautiful and heartbreaking \u003cem\u003eNine Folds Make a Paper Swan\u003c\/em\u003e explores the question of just how far we will go to understand who we really are, and to feel at home in the world.","brand":"Tin House Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151850520816,"sku":"9781941040508","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781941040508_p0.jpg?v=1769896934","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781941040508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
