Black Foam was a fascinating read on many fronts. As well as being a well-written story, it was also interesting to learn about the migration of African Jews to Israel, as it was something I had never heard about before. The book covers several themes, but in particular it highlights the search for 'home' and the difficult experience faced by migrants, both in respect to the authorities and the extant inhabitants of their new cities, who are not always welcoming. A short but thought-provoking piece, Black Foam is definitely well worth a read. It gets four stars from me.
