Black Seagull: A Novel

In every family, some secrets are buried deep - until they shape destinies

Tamara Feldman has always played by the rules—until she meets Ephraim Sade. A chance encounter with her ruggedly handsome neighbor ignites a spark she thought had long faded. But Ephraim is more than just a temptation; he's the one man who makes her question everything—her past, her choices, and the life she’s carefully built.

As a forensic expert, Tamara is trained to uncover the truth, but when her work leads her to unsettling discoveries about her own family, she realizes that some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Decades earlier, in Soviet Belarus, Raya Slutsky defied her family and risked everything for a forbidden love. Her passion for Yuri, a dashing naval officer, set her on an irreversible path, where love and sacrifice became inseparable.

From the cold, rigid world of Soviet-era Minsk to the sun-soaked shores of Haifa, Black Seagull is a sweeping tale of love that transcends time and borders. In a world where duty often outweighs desire, Tamara and Raya must each decide—will they follow their hearts or surrender to the expectations that bind them?
