Title: Why would anyone rate this wonderful book anything but 5 stars?
Review: How could someone be so crass as to rate this book one star?For the answer, let's look at some excerpts from the ALA review:~Holocaust and its aftermath...~haunting portrait of individuals tormented by their past.~children of a Nazi official~an Israeli soldier and granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor--~postwar Germany~psychic wounds.~creativity unfulfilled~childhood horror~his sister's suicide~transcendental reticence~touches his soul~tortured anxiety.~a restrained yet elegiacal voice~Rosner explores the power of memory and the providence of art to amplify and alleviate human suffering.If, after reading that you want to dive in then, by all means, enjoy.I'd rather save ten bucks and just wear my hair shirt for a week.
