Kindle Customer: This book is about survival and hope. The Jews of Poland suffered greatly during WW2 but showed great ingenuity and perseverance. This amazing story exemplifies this.

C Murphy: So so hard to comprehend. Human people treating other humans like that. Wanting to literally rid the world of them. We still suck.

Denise Marie: Specifically woman's intuition and how important and significant it is; if others had listened perhaps this story would have had a different ending. While repetitive in spots and drawn out at the start it will move your heart.

Ann2shoes: I wonder how anybody survived hiding in the forest in the cold, and having to move camp regularly to avoid detection. This is a good (true) story and well worth a read.

Michael Bully: Found this novel very moving. The Jewish ghettos in the cities tend to get highlighted more. However this novel opens with the story of a Jewish family in a village in the east of Poland in the years running up to World War 2. Their life seemed idyllic . An insight is given into a community where Jewish religious ritual and folklore flourished, even though some anti- Jewish feeling is evident , largely elsewhere, in the country.
And of course the proverbial stormclouds gather, and they just hope and pray for the best. Obviously with hindsight ,the naivety and refusal to see the danger that so many displayed becomes painful to read. Without spoiling the plot, the family end up hiding in the forest in a bid to avoid being permanently confined in a ghetto then being deported. Reminds me of the film 'Defiance' . Faced with the threat of capture by the Germans, Polish informants, partisans who were not sympathetic to the Jews, the family survive. Beautifully written, parts of the tale remind me of late 20th century magical realism with historical notes interjected. I am trying to place where the novel it set.....seems to be in the further east of the section of Poland that the...

Chris R.: Well worth spending the time to read this book. I obviously knew of the horrors of the Warsaw ghetto but hadn't realised that even people living in quiet villages in the Polish countryside were just as badly treated. It's a study of both humanity and inhumanity that is quite poignant now with yet again a rise in anti semitism.
