Son of Sasha

Bol

Despite her boyfriend's pleas to start planning for their future family, twenty-nine-year-old Ollie Melnik cannot decide whether she wants to have children. Ambivalent about her underpaid job, her limited support network, and the increasingly dire state of the world, the prospect of having a baby feels completely overwhelming. It doesn't help that her doting father died in a terrorist attack during the Second Intifada, she resents her widowed mother, and she remains obsessed with Sasha, her ex-girlfriend and greatest love, who ended their passionate romance to pursue Orthodox Judaism. When a baby boy mysteriously appears in Ollie's apartment after she learns Sasha is struggling with infertility, she is thrust into the role of his protector and forced to confront choices that can no longer be ignored. By turns hilarious, hallucinatory, and heartbreaking, Son of Sasha chronicles one woman's struggle to make the most important decision of her life in the face of disaster, disease, and an explosion of antisemitic violence that will threaten everyone she loves.
