Sarra's father supported her secular as well as her Hebrew education, and she studied classical Greek, Latin, and philosophy, and wrote poetry and letters. Sarra even convened a literary salon in the ghetto that was attended regularly by Christian clerics-including one who came to accuse her of heresy. In crystalline prose, Nancy Ludmerer reimagines Sarra's relationships with her family, her inner world, and her strong but often troubled connections with the Christian world outside the ghetto.\u003c\/p\u003e \r\nABOUT THE AUTHOR: \r\nNancy Ludmerer's stories appear in Kenyon Review, Electric Literature, New Orleans Review, the Saturday Evening Post, and many other journals.
