Great review for Please Say Kaddish For Me by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields – Worth reading and treasuring, By Virginia Smith

A strong woman (girl in the beginning) character in one of the dark times of Jewish life is the setting for this novel. Havah is left orphaned during one of the pogrom raids on her village, setting the stage for a story that pulled me in with its honest emotion and well-written descriptions. Having had a long-term relationship with a Jewish man whose mother left the Ukraine during the pogroms in the early years of the 20th century, I had particular interest in the details. I appreciate excellent prose with good grammatical structure and will not read a book without those two characteristics. Thank you to an excellent author for respecting the language while drawing me deep into the lives of each character. Her original artwork added a lovely, gentle touch.
