lattelibrarian's review against another edition
3.0
While the themes and ending of this book were admirable, it was a little hard for me to follow, personally. My interests remained solely with Sol, the wandering Holocaust survivor, having been unable to tell his children of the horrors and trauma he went through. For a better understanding of this novel, however, take note that knowledge of how Jewish folks have been perceived by the larger society in this time period is helpful, as the author critiques some of these perceptions.

I didn't dislike the book, and it carried along fine. But it felt kind of worn-out also, like I've read versions of it before.

Gritty and boring, about selfish people who don't understand how to communicate. Let's just all forget I read this one, okay?
