Of the recent fiction, I think Life, After by Sarah Littman is superb and I hope it wins the Sydney Taylor Award. Other top choices of mine would be Eve Tal's Double Crossing and its sequel, Cursing Columbus. I was disappointed that these didn't receive top recognition! How about a couple of non-fiction books about Israel? I'd recommend Homeland: The Illustrated History of the State of Israel, with its gorgeous graphics, and/or Louise Chipley Slavicek's Israel (2nd ed), and the very new and very timely Islamic-Jewish Relations Before 1947 by Tanya Sklar.
