Speakers: J.S. Margot, Justine Solomons
In 1987, 20-year-old student J.S. Margot responded to a job advertisement from an Orthodox Jewish couple in Antwerp to tutor their four children. This is the story of her extraordinary friendship with the family. Full of misunderstandings and unexpected connections, Mazel Tov is a provocative and disarmingly honest memoir of navigating clashing cultures and unusual friendships – and of how, where adults build walls, sometimes only children can dissolve them. In conversation with Byte The Book founder Justine Solomons.
