One Hundred Saturdays: Stella Levi and the Search for a Lost World, by Michael Frank

On Zoom

At nearly 100 years old, Stella Levi has never revealed her past, until she meets Michael Frank. He comes to her apartment one Saturday to inquire about the neighborhood on the Greek island of Rhodes where she grew up in a Jewish community that had thrived for 500 years. Neither of them knows this would be the first of 100 Saturdays over six years that they’d spend together, as Stella travels back in time to share what it felt like to grow up on this legendary Aegean island, under Ottoman, then Italian, and finally German occupation. Courageous, candid and sly, Stella is a magical, modern-day Scheherazade whose stories are so compelling, you must keep reading. One of the Wall Street Journal’s Ten Best Books of the Year, winner of the National Jewish Book Awards for Holocaust Memoir and Sephardic Culture, and recipient of the Jewish Book Council’s Natan Notable Book Award.
