A review by lizmart88
The Book of Aron, by Jim Shepard

4.0

One of the more unique additions to the field of Holocaust books focusing on children. The narrator is portrayed with all his eccentricities as a young Jewish boy in the Warsaw ghetto. We hear and see the progression of the war through his eyes, and we witness the mistakes he makes and tries to overcome. Based in part on a real life man who ran an orphanage, the book is haunting and beautiful.
