This book is a stunning masterpiece. I have so many words for it and yet they will not be enough. The writing is just astounding, the way the story is woven and the characters developed is just masterful. It is also one of the most uniquely and unapologetically Jewish books I have ever read. It doesn't stop to explain itself it just exists with Jewish customs, ideas and themes at the forefront. This was a stunning story that I will never forget and will sing it's praises to anyone who can't run away from me fast enough.
