The English title of Israeli author Savyon Liebrecht’s latest work, “The Bridesman,” translated by Gilah Kahn-Hoffman, is a clever rendering of the Hebrew term “shoshbeen,” denoting the close friend or relative of either sex who accompanies bride and groom (one each) to the wedding canopy. The book, set within an Iranian Jewish family in Israel at the end of the 20th century, revolves around the relationship of two young people. It ends in a startling reveal of abuse, paradoxically conducted in the name of family values.
