I really liked this book because it was beautifully written and I'd always wondered how the survivors picked up and moved on with their lives.

I remember at the time that I was reading an inordinate amount of WWII literature at the time I received it and put it aside for want of something different. Based on your review, I think it's time to put it towards the top of the review pile again. Thanks for a great review!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-20590092411261574062011-09-15T12:04:21.375-04:002011-09-15T12:04:21.375-04:00This sounds like a book I would really enjoy.

I read a memoir recently that dealt with the way surviving the Holocaust affects your own life and that of your children, and this book reminds me a bit of that.<br /><br />Thanks for being a part of the tour!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-84007330925485826402011-09-13T15:54:57.634-04:002011-09-13T15:54:57.634-04:00I admit, I passed on this because it seemed a bit ...I admit, I passed on this because it seemed a bit of the same, but I do like quiet novels -- will have to add this to my TBR as yours is one of many positive reviews I've seen.Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-46714999530759293722011-09-12T14:12:28.986-04:002011-09-12T14:12:28.986-04:00I also feel like there are a lot of books out ther...I also feel like there are a lot of books out there on this subject, but for me, this one was a little different. I appreciated the look that Schwarz gives us at the characters lives both right after the war, and then much, much further into the future. It was sort of sad though. I liked your thoughtful take on it.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
