Appears at first alluringly simple. In straightforward prose adorned with a poetic sensibility, Rosner intertwines three narratives about displaced children ping-ponging across Europe and Israel during World War II and its aftermath.
While many books have been written about children transported to various places for safety during World War II, Jennifer Rosner’s moving, well-researched second novel takes a penetrating look at the myriad murky moral choices involved.
Rosner’s... moving story about identity, family, and the meaning of home explores the little-known story of the stolen children of World War II.
Rosner wrings a great deal of emotion from the various portraits, and she does an admirable job of exploring the characters’ conflicted loyalties. Fans of Jewish historical fiction will be moved..
