DNF she freely deploys Yiddish and Hebrew, then immediately translates it. To didactic for me.
Poland, 1906. Friedl Alterman is laying in her grave in the Jewish cemetery in Zokof ready for her spirit to move on to a better place. Suddenly, Itzik Leiber, a 14-year-old boy, runs to her tombstone, hangs on to it for dear life, and beings to pray for help from the pursuing angry, Polish men. Friedl's spirit rises from her grave to protect him; thus beginning a haunting of three generations: Itzik, his son, and then his granddaughter. Even with the ghostly presence of Friedl, this is a realistic and fascinating story about one family and also the history of the Polish Jews.… (més)
Interesting book, somewhat hopeful regarding the possiblity of peaceful coexistence if we only live together. Some magical realism, but not as problematic as that by Marquez. Fairly well-defined characters
An amazing story that will get you thinking. This is the kind of book that sticks with you long after you have finished reading it.
