The World That We Knew by Alice Hoffman

5.0

I have a strange relationship with Alice Hoffman’s books. This is the 10th book I have read by her. When I look back at my star–ratings, I find that about half of those I thought were “just OK“ but the other half were “phenomenal“. This was one of those 5-star books. The World That We Knew is a different kind of World War II book. In fact, I would consider this book to be historical/magical realism. It is rife with jewish mysticism, especially as it relates to the being known as “the golem“. Loved this book and will be recommending it to everyone.

This book will not be released until September 2019. I would like to thank SIMON & SCHUSTER for giving me access to this eGalley.
