Horn's story focuses on Jewish compassion and continuity through generations, revolving around a woman who can't die and witnesses her loved ones age and pass away across time. Perry's novel, reminiscent of gothic horror, centers on a Jewish woman cursed to wander the earth due to her denial of seeing the risen Christ, serving as a witness to human cruelty throughout history. Both books explore existential questions of why continue living, with Horn emphasizing the importance of perpetuating the Jewish story through family, while Perry delves into despair amidst humanity's injustices. The novels, created by authors from warm religious backgrounds, offer contrasting perspectives on hope and despair in the face of the world's challenges."
