Meet the Israelis you never see on the news. Most people know Israel through headlines. In Almost True: Stories from Jerusalem, Tal Shalev invites readers to discover it through stories. Set in Jerusalem and across Israel, these twenty-two stories introduce unforgettable characters navigating friendship, marriage, family, love, loss, and the quiet absurdities of everyday life. A wedding guest wrestles with an impossible social dilemma. A husband struggles to save his marriage. Neighbors misunderstand one another. Parents and children search for common ground. Through humor, compassion, and keen observation, Shalev captures the moments that reveal who we are not only as Israelis, but as human beings. Written with warmth, wit, and emotional honesty, these stories offer a portrait of Israel rarely seen by the outside world. Beyond the headlines are ordinary people confronting extraordinary choices, finding grace in unexpected places, and discovering that life's deepest truths often arrive disguised as its smallest moments. Funny, wise, and deeply humane, Almost True: Stories from Jerusalem is perfect for readers who enjoy literary fiction that celebrates the complexity, resilience, and quiet beauty of everyday life.©2026 Tal Shalev (P)2026 Soncata Press
