Award-winning author Tamar Yellin brings us deeply melancholy, darkly humorous linked stories that examine the heart of human longing and ask the question: Where do we belong? With its imagery from the legend of the exiled ten tribes of Israel, "Tales of the Ten Lost Tribes" follows the life-journey of a wandering narrator who encounters a series of displaced persons: the uncle whose endless travels seem romantic but are in fact a camouflage for a life of failure and malaise; the girl student who may literally be invisible; and, the young man who spends his night hours obsessively writing and rewriting the slim volume he can never finish. With each encounter the narrator inevitably moves on, dreaming of home, unable to resist the lure of the world's labyrinth.
