I Hate to Say Goodbye (English Edition) Formato Kindle
Fascinating stories from a perspective of a precocious and sensitive girl growing up during a historical and momentous time — the rebirth and rise of a nation. Threats looming everywhere: Arab neighbors, the hardship of nature as war refugees are making their home in the uncultivated promised land, Israel. Farm life with its unique toils and delights, forbidden young love among foes, bliss and abysmal gloom, laughter and tears, reality meets fantasy and valuable life lessons are interwoven into this stormy, tumultuous and tragic-comic family drama.
I Hate to Say Goodbye (based on a true story) takes place in Israel during the 50’s and the 60’s. In this humane and spiritual journey Ruti Yudovich passionately and vividly shares her insights she calls: "Moments of Deepness."
This first book by the emerging writer Yudovich is an experience to be embraced.

What was really interesting was the character. She was quite a Tom Boy actually, was very brave, willing to experience life, not just from her bedroom but actually going out there and being part of life and part of the experience. Though she was pretty emotional, there were things that really affected her. She didn't communicate about them which was interesting to observe in the personality of the character. It was interesting to me, knowing the author, how I think I got to know her much better through her book.
Ruti: What did you think of "Imaginary world"?
Tony: I loved the imaginary world because it reminded me of some of my own experiences in what I consider my previous track or past lives. And, while the author didn't specifically say that, for me it alluded to being there before, having had prior experiences and those experiences were definitely a lifetime or lifetimes before.

Lezlie's Review of:
I Hate to Say Goodbye
By
Ruti Yudovich
I was definitely drawn to the title, and not just because I happen to agree with it. Goodbyes can be heart-tearing. Goodbyes should be charismatic, like in the movies. Ruti's chapters read like vivid scenes from a "Capraesque" film. Very cinematic.
Ruti's story, based on true events, is set in the true center of the 20th Century in the newly born State of Israel. Rimi, our protagonist, lives with her farming family near Arab villages. Her roots are Russian-Jewish and she is a strong-willed child, and a worried child, fighting against and fiercely protecting her imperfect family. She craves knowledge, revels in music and dances to the tune of her own song. What intrigued me throughout the book was how Rimi managed her fears, confusions and disagreements with a life that could at any moment, on any given day, be shattered by violence.
Rimi's escapades make up the chapters that stand on their own; the bathroom scene in vivid, chilling detail still gives me goose bumps.
Rimi charms; defies; she schemes; she annoys; she flirts and falls in love and floats on clouds and falls through ceilings and perches on home strewn hammocks in the high branches of fruit trees and sings.
I found this to be such an engaging and uplifting read; Ms. Yudovich is an insightful and compassionate writer. She draws characters that are real flesh and blood, people I felt I really knew through Rimi's experience of them. And I wanted to know more. I wanted to lift the veil off the mystery that pervades from the opening pages until the last. But I didn't and I'm glad I didn't. It was worth the wait. ((( : )

And here is a BONUS review from my mother-in-law:
"The author of this book tutored and prepared my granddaughter for her Bat Mitzvah, and also officiated at the event. Born and brought up in a farming town in Israel, Ruti tells about her childhood - mainly ages 6-10. Her family is as functional and dysfunctional as any, but she has a philosophical bent and her chapter titles I liked a lot. For example:
Better to be a cow than a pig; give when you're alive.
Life is like catching bees; you will only get the honey if you are willing to be stung.
The more you tell the truth the more you like yourself.
See what I mean? This book is for everyone! --Muriel Levy"

The spiritually precocious Rimi interacts fully with her world and the people she shares it with, come what may. She reminds us that experience and connection is why we are here, and the further we are removed from those simple facts, the less joy and peace are to be found.
She hates to say goodbye, because the connections she makes, even if not fully reciprocated, become like parts of her whole. Saying goodbye to a beloved teacher or friend becomes as if she were saying goodbye to a hand or a leg.
The book is also a gentle caution to the the adults of this world, for them to try to remain mindful that words, actions, and strong negative emotions can impact children in unexpectedly strong ways, particularly those who are sensitive and whose hearts are wide open with love.
The story also reminds us that although the world, with its chaos and carnage and confusion, can be a brutal place, there are little sparks of hope that can lessen the suffering for everyone. Little sparks like the child Rimi in this story.
