From:

Hrrm, when I reposted that list of books with Jewish protagonists, I added Faye Kellerman's mystery series about a police officer (man) whose first book is an investigation of crimes at a mikvah, and (spoilers) the Orthodox Jewish woman he meets, collaborates with in crime solving, and becomes friends with. The first book's title is The Ritual Bath.

One more non-holocaust book with Jewish characters: The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Koval. Alternate history about a Jewish woman getting into the space program in the 50s. It won the Hugo and the Nebula.

I like the idea of Flora taking action over spread of anything.

Hah! I didn't even spot that!

Very cool, if true
