Day After Night by Anita Diamant
4.0
I've read other reviews complaining that the book lacked detail, or didn't deal with specific events or ideas. However, as someone who knew nothing about the resettlement in Israel following WWII, I found this to be a primer. It has awakened a curiosity in me, and I'm sure I'll be following up with non-fictional reading in the next few months.
The characters are all compelling, bringing me into their worlds and into their heads. This book caught me emotionally from the first chapter, something no other book has done. The stories are all told not from the point of view of a victim or a hero, but a human being who has survived and is surviving some of the worst live has to offer.
Unless you're a history buff and any inaccuracies would bother you, I absolutely recommend that everyone read this book.
