Coming of age in 1960s New York, Rachel considers her life as the daughter of Holocaust survivors, a haunted father and late mother, who tell her the past is something she must never forget. Reprint.
I found this story to be gripping and thought-provoking. I was intrigued at how the Holocaust seemed to be a character unto itself -- it wasn't just some background fact but a "living" part of the narrative *and* the character's lives, interaction and development. It was a good read.
