I love a good work of Jewish fiction, especially one like this that connects our real present to what-could-have-been. That being said, there were parts of this book where I had to backtrack thinking I missed a few pages, because sometimes it felt some pretty significant things were handwaved, and large chunks of time went unaccounted for to move the plot along a little faster. The ending blew me away, however, and I found it difficult to articulate to my non-Jewish friends just how much it slapped me in the heart.
