An extremely powerful and moving novel. A novel I will come back to year after year. Amidst the rising antisemitism and Gaza crisis this
narrative provides a stark reminder of what (can) happen(s) when individuals sit idly by and allow fear to control their lives. The characters crafted in this novel will leave an imprint on each reader and force individuals to confront feelings of love, loss, despair, hope, anger, and uncomfortability. A powerful exploration of history and familial healing.
