This study investigates the various and multifaceted representations of motherhood in Savyon Liebrecht’s stories. It analyzes the themes of motherly love and the lack of motherly love in playing the roles of a female and a mother in life’s circles. Each woman in these stories comes from a different background, composed of different substance and presents a different discourse. Even still, the common denominator for all three women is their love (or lack of-) for their offspring. A Room on the Roof tells the story of a woman who initiates the break-through of the house ceiling and the building of her private room on the roof. This undertaking instigates the patriarchal powers surrounding her—her husband and the Arab construction workers—to challenge her. During the construction process, her baby is fighting for his mother’s love, reminding her of her motherly role. Apples from the Desert tells the story of Victoria Abravanel’s—an ultra-Orthodox woman-mother-journey from Jerusalem to bring back her daughter from the secular Kibbutz in the desert. The meeting between the two women closes the emotional gap between them and renews their love to each other, even though it does not bring the daughter back to Jerusalem. Crying on Mother’s Shoulder tells the story of a woman who yearns for a warm shoulder from her mother in a moment of crisis in her marriage. However, the mother does not comfort her daughter, but treats her as a stranger trespassing her realm.
