- **Event Description**: Join us to launch The Very Unremarkable Life of Mrs. Etty Bloom with author Talya Jankovits, in conversation with her former MFA mentor, our own Gayle Brandeis! This is Talya's first novel, and we're so delighted to help usher it into the world!

In the insulated Hasidic community of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, tradition and cultural norms are as sacred as religion. Childhood friendships are cultivated to climb social ladders, matchmakers dictate futures, and young girls are primed for marriage and motherhood. So, when Etty Greenberger, a headstrong redhead and the only child of Holocaust survivors, commits one ugly and thoughtless act, she believes she has sabotaged her opportunity to secure a desirable match. Reluctantly, she agrees to marry Benji Bloom, a fishmonger’s son far below her marital aspirations, becoming Mrs. Etty Bloom.

With each passing year, Etty grows further from the life she had hoped for, filled with disappointment and delusions of grandeur. As she grapples with loss, grief, and the challenges of motherhood, she also discovers friendship, love, and joy in the most unexpected places. It may take a lifetime, but Etty Bloom finally learns that an unremarkable life can be remarkable after all.

Gayle writes "Talya Jankovits’ secret ingredient is compassion—even when Etty is being a bit meshuggah, Jankovits writes her with so much love and care, we can’t help but love her (and the fire inside her) too. Etty and her family will forever be part of the mishpucha of my heart."

We hope you can join us for this special, heart-filled event!
