A wonderful list, featuring several favorites of mine! BUT: *One Hundred Saturdays* is NOT a work of fiction; in fact, it was a finalist for last year's Sami Rohr Jewish Literary Prize in NONFICTION (the prize alternates between fiction and nonfiction awards--stay tuned for this year's finalist list in fiction!). https://www.samirohrprize.org/

Thanks for this! Admittedly, I probably should've noted that One Hundred Saturdays is not actually fiction. I really just wanted it to be on the list :)

A must read should be Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk

@Rivka Bennun Kay, I write Jewish fiction! My novels thus far are Woman of Valor and Cave of Secrets, with a third launching June 12th, I Love You, Charlie Tanner. I'd be happy to send you one or all to review!
