"Scent of Jasmine" Book Signing Saturday, Feb. 18th at Florey's!


Florey's Book Co. welcomes local author Nitza Agam as she discusses her book "Scent of Jasmine".

***Saturday, February 18th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

This memoir tells the story of the author's life in Israel, New Jersey, and San Francisco. In particular, her life in Israel as a young adult was marked by the tragedy of losing her fiance to the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Angela Neff describes the memoir in a short description on the back cover: "The pain is so unbearable she has to leave Israel. But no matter where she lives, the love and loss of her life in Israel never leave her." The "scent of jasmine" is that particular fragrance of the Middle East, of hot summer nights, of streets in various Israeli cities, and symbolizes her journey and her loss. It is also a tale of finding herself as an adolescent, a young woman, a mother, a wife, a writer.

About the Author:

Nitza Agam, published poet and author, has published in a variety of magazines and anthologies such as Poetica, Reed, (San Jose State literary magazine) Bridges: A Jewish Feminist journal, (2009) The San Francisco Chronicle, and a variety of educational journals. This memoir tells the story of her life in Israel, New Jersey, and San Francisco. In particular, her life in Israel as a young adult was marked by the tragedy of losing her fiance to the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Nitza lives in Daly City and has lived there for almost thirty years.
Primarily a poet, Nitza tells the story of her life in a series of poetic vignettes and poems and shows us her journey from an adolescent in New Jersey to a young woman in Israel and then to the older, current one in San Francisco.
