l.iterature -- 5 stars
The Nazi Party's power is growing and one mother will go to any length to get her daughter out of Berlin. When a rabbi refuses to help, it is the rabbi's daughter who offers her the protection she needs for her daughter, but the price is high and means the rabbi's children must come too. In the end, three children and a golem leave the city and begin a journey that tests the veil between reality and mysticism. ----- If ever one could describe a story of the holocaust as gentle, this would be that story. The fear, the hiding, the horror are all there; but it is cloaked in a hope that lives in a mother's love. Written in language that sings, this is a story that touches the place where we keep our secrets.
