It was amazing!

A fabulous sequel to Please Say Kaddish For Me. This one continues the story of Havah and Arel, Nikolai, Ulrich and members of the Gitterman family. As in the first book, all is not rosy. It is a most difficult transition from Pogrom-torn Russia to racist-United States.

I do not want to go into any detail as I would hate to spoil this for any future readers but must say there were cringe-worthy moments – Rochelle does have a knack for describing horror in detail – and there were most beautiful ones.

There are characters I would like to smack and others I want to hold tight and comfort. Signs of a most satisfying and engrossing read. I tried to take my time reading it as I did not want it to end and must console myself with the knowledge that the story is not over and will continue in the up-coming As One Must, One Can.
