An exemplary review for Please Say Kaddish For Me by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
Depicted on the cover: Havah and Fruma Ya’el
By Sandra
This was a compelling read, from beginning to end and I finished it in two sessions. A thoroughly engrossing tale, with brilliant characterization. I felt as though I knew the characters well, and since I knew that a pogrom would be imminent, I found my anxiety levels increasing the more attached I became to them. Atmospheric, graphic, charming and horrifying. The pace was just right as was the changing and contrasting cycle: horror – forbidden love – bitterness – love – horror – redemption. Characters were dispatched expeditiously with just the right amount of detail and at appropriate intervals – and none of it was signaled up in advance. A vivid portrayal of Jewish family life in extraordinarily difficult times.
