Rebecca Sacks has published two literary novels that explore identity and conflict in charged settings. City of a Thousand Gates (2021) is a multi-perspective novel set in Jerusalem, following a range of Israeli and Palestinian characters — soldiers, students, journalists, workers — whose lives collide in a city defined by division.

The Lover (2023) continues Sacks’s interest in the territory between people who should not be close. Her fiction is built on the tension between political realities and personal connections, and both novels use intimate storytelling to explore large-scale conflicts.
