Jewish-American novelist Belva Plain has passed away. She was 95-years old and published a total of 22 novels in her lifetime.
In 2004, Random House released her last book, Crossroads. Plain broke into print in 1978 with the novel, Evergreen.
The New York Times reports: “Ms. Plain was fiercely private about her life, but she spoke about her novels, often to Jewish groups. ‘I got sick of reading the same old story, told by Jewish writers, of the same old stereotypes-the possessive mothers, the worn-out fathers, all the rest of the neurotic rebellious unhappy self-hating tribe,’ she said. ‘I wanted to write a different novel about Jews-and a truer one.’”
