Erev: The Evening Years of Reuben Gurewitz

by Anne Shmelzer

An eighty-three-year-old retired Ottawa physician faces an internal struggle to come to terms with the tragic death of his beloved wife Ruthie, and a son far off in California. Spurred by memories of childhood, Reuben Gurewitz revisits Belleville, Ontario in 2016, the year of severe drought, to find a Jewish community in decline, and Laura Burns, his forbidden love.
