You Are Not What We Expected by Sidura Ludwig

You Are Not What We Expected by Sidura Ludwig

Spanning fifteen years in the lives of a multi-generational family and their neighbours, this remarkable collection draws an intimate portrait of a suburban Jewish community and illuminates the unexpected ways we remain connected during times of change.

This volume can claim kinship with Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio, Alice Munro’s Who Do You Think You Are?, and Margaret Laurence’s A Bird in the House, works in which interconnected stories provide a vessel for examining the human comedy in its often-troubling complexity … Ludwig doesn’t sentimentalize … and she has an eye for the absurdities of human behaviour in even the most poignant of circumstancesBut there’s compassion in her intimate examination of these lives. * Vancouver Sun *
All readers can enjoy Ludwig’s writing. She shows great empathy for her characters, even when they behave badly. * Library Journal *
