Heir to the Glimmering World by Cynthia Ozick

3.0

This was a beautifully written WWII-era tale of Jewish refugees in New York. But... I just didn't get emotionally attached to any of the characters. And, I should have. Given the subject matter... the refugee family torn from everything they've ever had, the teenage orphan trying to make her way in the world, the former child celebrity trying to be a functioning adult... I just didn't care all that much. Beautiful but rather dry with no real surprises or resolutions.
