A compelling read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a gripping novel highlighting deep-rooted prejudices and social charcteristics which many prefer to keep buried, if we admit their existence at all. The predicament which surrounds the central character mirrors and draws upon a historical case but the plot is modern and original.The story unfolds in a refreshing blend of forms - letters, journal accounts and third person narrative and the characters are realistic to the point that it's possible to forget you're reading a fictional account.This is an exploration of what it means to be Jewish in the present day and the consequences of biases which lie unspoken. As a non-Jewish reader, I found it a remarkable and stimulating tale, a protest, a lament, an accusation, a defence, an elegy, a vindication. I couldn't stop turning the pages to find out what could possibly happen next - definitely one to read in a single sitting.
