About this listen

Author Kitty Zeldis, a pseudonym drawn from her maiden name and college nickname, joins Zibby to discuss her new historical novel ONE OF THEM. Set at Vassar in the late 1940s, the book explores the complexities of identity, friendship, prejudice, and assimilation through the story of two young Jewish women navigating very different choices about how openly to live their Jewishness. Kitty shares how her own experiences shaped the novel, reflects on changing perceptions of Jewish identity on college campuses and beyond, and opens up about her writing process, career journey, and earlier works.
