Title: Davita's Harp: A Story about Stories
Review: Davita's Harp receives much praise as a poignant coming of age story, and it is certainly that. But Davita's Harp is not simply a coming of age tale; it is an exploration of the very nature of story. Potok is showing that for Davita, and his readers, story is how we find truth; story is how we shape our own lives. The story of Davita and her Harp then, is also the story of how stories shape our lives and our beliefs. This is a beautiful and thought provoking read, about the reality of growing up and searching for truth in a world that is terribly hard to understand--the world that all of us face.
