I am ashamed to say that I bought this book back in February and did not start reading it until yesterday. This book is so good. I loved that the plot has Jewish Folklore and that the story is told from multiple points of view. Although many tragedies happened in the story, reading about how love drove the characters was wonderful. I highly recommend this book.
