The Sweetness

by Sande Boritz Berger

Early in The Sweetness, an inquisitive young girl asks her grandmother why she is carrying nothing but a jug of sliced lemons and water when they are forced by the Germans to evacuate their ghetto. "Something sour to remind me of the sweetness," she tells her, setting the theme for what they must remember to survive. Set during World War II, the novel is the parallel tale of two Jewish girls, cousins, living on separate continents, whose strikingly different lives ultimately converge.

Brooklyn-born Mira Kane is the 18-year-old daughter of a well-to-do manufacturer of women's knitwear in New York. Her cousin, eight-year-old Rosha Kaninsky, is the lone survivor of a family in Vilna exterminated by the invading Nazis. But unbeknownst to her American relatives, Rosha did not perish. Desperate to save his only child during a roundup of their ghetto, her father thrusts her into the arms of a Polish Catholic candlemaker, who then hides her in a root cellar - putting her own family at risk. The headstrong and talented Mira, who dreams of escaping Brooklyn for a career as a fashion designer, finds her ambitions abruptly thwarted when, traumatized at the fate of his European relatives, her father becomes intent on safeguarding his loved ones from threats of a brutal world, and all the family must challenge his unuttered but injurious survivor guilt. Though the American Kanes endure the experience of the Jews who got out, they reveal how even in the safety of our lives, we are profoundly affected by the dire circumstances of others.

[Jaline · Rating 5 out of 5]

Two branches of the same family, separated by roughly 6,000 miles of circumstances, choices and their consequences during WWII and how the heart has its own agenda throughout it all. I enjoyed this story a lot and particularly enjoyed all of the smaller, individual stories that kept this family apart and also held them together. A couple of times I felt wrenched out of one side of the world as the story shifted across the ocean (the story was that good) but was quickly absorbed into the co-existing story (it was also that good). I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in experiencing a different perspective during a heartbreaking time of our collective history.

This is an enduring first novel. Its told with empathy and bittersweet humor.

Exquisite storytelling.

The year 1941. We've two young girls with very different lifestyles & concerns in this Historical Fiction.

Rosha is a Polish Jew living in Poland. She has concerns with survival-- for herself and her family. She dreams of her family coming out alive!

Mira living in New York City, has concerns with getting her degree from her Fashion Design School. She also dreams of getting married.

The weaving of these two stories together is page-turning ---but what is the message of this novel. Many books have been written about the Holocaust....and Jews coming to America.
I think the message is always the same: "PLEASE REMEMBER". "DO NOT FORGET"!
I came away feeling more empowered -- I hope to remember to make more contributions and be a little better person after reading this story.

The author, Sande Boritz Berger is entertaining and writes with authenticity. I'd recommend this book for mature Young Adults. I think they would really enjoy it.

This is an interesting Holocaust novel. The protagonists are two young girls. Mira is nineteen years old, the only daughter of Charles Kane who owns a clothing factory with his brother and two sisters, all of whom had emigrated from Russia years ago. When the story opens Mira is attending a school for fashion design with her best friend Faye, and loving her close knit, well to do family who all live together in Brooklyn. Across the ocean in Vilna, Russia, eight year old Rosha lives with her parents and grandmother in a world overtaken by anti Semitism. Her father is the brother of Charles Kane, and he had refused to make the trip to America with his siblings, preferring to stay with his parents. The novel follows the lives of both girl in alternating chapters. Mira is marginally concerned about the war and the fate of her far away family, but is more focused on immediate issues such as trying to gain freedom from her at times dominating father, worrying about her mother and maiden aunts, and pursuing love and perhaps a career. Rosha loses her family in a round up of Jews and is hidden by a loving candle maker and her Jewish husband, a member of the Jewish council. The contrast between the two settings is stark and drastic. The character development is vivid; even the minor characters are realistic and experience growth and change as the events of the world invade their lives. Great descriptions and wonderful characters.

I really liked the first 3/4 of this. It was a story that followed two relatives from different walks of life. (I won't get into the details since it has a summary already)

But during the last 1/4 of the book it just seemed like a different author took over and tried something new. Something just seemed off and I wish I could put my finger on it.

I can't say the book was bad; I did like it. It had a lot of potential but that last 1/4 needs some work.

“The Sweetness”, a novel by Sande Boritz Berger kept me interested until the end. The story starts in Vilna, Poland in 1941 as the Polish Jews are being herded into the woods to their death by the invading Nazis. The Kaninski’s are a family of mother, father, daughter and grandmother. The father sneaks his daughter away during the death march and places her in the arms of a Polish Catholic woman whom they knew. He saved her life. Marta and her family hide Rosha throughout the war, keeping her safe. This is that story.

Some members of the Kaninski family immigrated to America a few years before and escaped the wrath of the Nazi regime. They changed their last name to Kane and were very successful in the garment industry in Brooklyn. When they are made aware of the deaths of their relatives in Poland, each member of the family has his/her own way of dealing with the grief that this knowledge brings. This novel is the story of this family and its members and how they react to the war and their survival. It is their story.

I truly enjoyed this novel, both for the theme and the writing style. The book flipped back and forth between America and Nazi Poland and the stark differences between them. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in this period of history.

I was sent a free print copy of this book by NightOwlReviews.com in return for my honest review. You can find this review on my blog at http://wp.me/p2pjIt-bK.

Actual rating: 2.75

Upto approx 50% I'd have given 4 stars. Now it's degenerated into a cross between Mills & Boon with a touch of 50 Shades... However I can't be too sure as I've not read 50 Shades.

I was so enchanted by the first half of this novel which centres around the privileged lifestyles of Mira, her aunt Jeanette, and family in Brooklyn. A bittersweet tale with its stark contrasts between Mira's world and her 8 year old cousin Rosha's traumatic world of loss, despair and death in Vilna, but also of kindness and hope with the people who shelter her.

The blossoming love affair of Mira and her beau was endearing but at around 52% the story just didn't progress in the way I had imagined it would.

Whilst 'The Sweetness' by Sande Boritz Berger wasn't for me I can see it being popular for mainstream fiction readers who like a light, easy read about love, family life and loss set around a privileged Jewish family during the war.

The Sweetness by Sande Boritz Berger is a novel set during the time of World War II. It covers a parallel tale of two Jewish girls, cousins, living on separate continents, Mira in Brooklyn and Rosha from the Vilna Ghetto of Poland. This is an inspirational story of a Jewish family’s strength and resilience, people who faced their challenges head-on during one of the darkest times in world history. Especially the story of Rosha, a character who faced so many hardships, it seemed all she had to sustain her were her thoughts of happier times, a few photos and the kindness of a candle maker. This is a superb story of upheaval, change, and new beginnings.

Another book that started off promising and got predictable/not believable towrads the end. Not sure why authors have a need to write books that are 300 pages when 250 will do? Shorter is sometimes better.

[Agnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Heartwarming and poignant. A story of struggle, pain and family. Through trials of physical and mental pain. Survival of family. Set during WW2 a story of cousins one in America the other in Europe. One pursuing her dreams of being a designer. The other just trying to survive by living with a Polish family who are protecting her. Both their experiences traumatic but everyone needs a jug of lemons and water...."something sour to remind you of the sweetness". Great story.

The Sweetness, an historical debut novel by Sande Boritz Berger, captures daily life life in an horrific period, Nazi Poland. The structure of The Sweetness, with alternating chapters between the two main characters--Rosha, a preteen in Vilna confined to the basement to hide and her cousin, Mira, ensconced in a Brooklyn upperclass mansion--reveals touching moments, braiding the two narratives to powerful effect.

Rosha's voice is in first person--encapsulating the growing awareness of the horrors she and her family have faced and will continue to face. Mira, tied to the traditions and livelihood of her parents, still doesn't escape emotional repression and isolation and also must develop grit and resilience.

The author's careful modulation of tone turns the pathos inside out, using the terrors of two girls' lives as a channel to enter the reader's mind. The grandmother tells one of the girls, Rosha, the preteen living in Vilna, Poland: ...only by tasting lemons are you sure to remember sweetness." And Rosha reflects: "I think I understand--how things csn be different yet nearly the same. ...like the feelings of joy and sadness, the tastes of sweet and sour."

A war at home or from across an ocean is still war. A skillfully crafted story of love and hope, despite harrowing circumstances!

[Jan · Rating 3 out of 5]

When her family is forced from the ghetto by invading Nazis, Rosha Kaninsky was saved when her father thrust her into the arms of a Polish Catholic candle maker. News of the family's demise greatly upsets Rosha's uncle and the rest of her relatives living in America. No one knows she's alive or where she is. Her cousin, Mira, recalls the beautiful little girl many times in the ensuing years. Filled with promise, hope and the undercurrent of survivor's guilt, The Sweetness is an engrossing and memorable story.

[Kris McCracken · Rating 3 out of 5]

Berger treads a challenging path in choosing two starkly different narratives to run concurrently: the life of a wealthy Jewish daughter in New York through the Second World War and her cousin in wartorn (and Nazi-occupied) Vilna.

It works, but it tests the reader's capacity to feel too bad for Mira's trials of finding a fitting sweater for date night!

A touching story of losing, living, courage and getting on with it. Tenderly crafted, this novel gives insight into the human experience.

[Lena · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

In the debut novel, The Sweetness, author Sande Boritz Berger illustrates how the world can go to shambles yet hope remain strong. Two parallel story lines evolve in the novel. Roshe Kaninsky stars in one and Mira Kane, Roshe’s American cousin, owns the other. The time period is World War II. And while Roshe hides from the Nazis in the basement of a courageous family for the duration of the war, across the Atlantic, her cousin Mira, who lives in wealthy comfort, carps about having to quit design school and work for her family’s company. Berger contrasts the two lives forcing an examination of the influence of luck and hope in life.

The simple luck of my birth in the U.S. shields me from the grief and struggle that men and women endure in Ukraine, Afghanistan, South Sudan, and elsewhere that conflict disrupts and sometimes destroys aspirations. The Sweetness by comparing Mira and Roshe’s struggles emphasizes how easy it is to forget the plight of others and in the absence of similar difficulty to think that our own issues are grand and troublesome.

Berger titled and themed The Sweetness after a scene of exodus that happens near the beginning of the tale. In the scene, Roshe’s family prepares to leave Vilna, their hometown. Most of Roshe’s neighbors flood into the street carrying their belongings and like her neighbors, young Roshe hefts a sack of her belongings on her back. When Bubbe, Roshe’s grandmother catches up with Roshe Bubbe is carrying only a jar of lemonade. Roshe asks Bubbe why she isn’t carrying anything else. Bubbe responds: “This is all I need my Rosha. Something to remind me of sweetness.” Roshe argues back that lemons are sour and her grandmother answers, “True, true, mein kind, but only by tasting lemons are you sure to remember sweetness.” Bubbe’s wisdom weaves through both Roshe and Mira’s narratives.

Dichotomic themes reverberate in literature and serve to remind us of the need for opposition in our lives. As Herman Melville wrote in Moby Dick, “There is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself.” We must have evil to appreciate good, light to know dark, and love to feel hate. The truth that The Sweetness offers is a reminder of the beauty of the contrast. And while my lucky lemons may never taste as sour as people who live in war torn villages, I can always choose, like Bubbe, Roshe, and Mira, to remember that the sweetness of lemonade is only possible because of the lemons.

[Bev Walkling · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was beautiful and definitely left me wanting more. It reminded me a little of Ken Follett's books especially World Without End. Like that book,The Sweetness is epic in nature telling the story of members of one family on different sides of the world during the Second World War.

Eight year old Rosha lives in Vilna which was considered part of Lithuania at the time.The setting is just after Germany has broken its pact with Russia and persecution of the Jews has escalated, though Rosha has no real understanding of what is happening. Her parents chose to stay when most of the rest of the family had emigrated to the US in the 1920's. Family overseas urged them to emigrate too but concern for aging parents and the belief that nothing could happen to them led them to stay behind. When Jews are suddenly being rounded up (and taken to be shot) Rosha's father manages to put her into the hands of a Christian woman married to a Jew who is on the Judenrat. Rosha lives in a cold, dark basement room - well-treated by the adults, but not so much by their son.

In America, Mira is 19 - young, naive and aware that her parents are very concerned but not really sure about what. She is a student of fashion design and has big hopes for a future designing -perhaps in Hollywood. Her story, and that of her parents, brother and aunts and uncle is told next to Rosha's story mostly in alternating chapters.

This is a book of fiction, but to me it read like someone's true story. I really grew to care for the characters and want the best for them. Sometimes I wanted to shake various characters but regardless I wanted to hear their story. I was mildly disappointed in the abruptness of the ending of the book, but not enough to prevent me from recommending this to anyone who is interested in reading more about the Holocaust and how it affected people who were living through it in Europe or who were helpless on the other side of the ocean.

This is another novel to add to your Holocaust collections for young adults. What makes this one unique is that there are two stories, one set in the United States and one set in Vilna where the Nazis are rounding up the Jewish population. Mira Kane is eighteen and a talented, aspiring clothing designer living in New York city. Mira's family owns a knitwear company and has been able to keep the business going in spite of the war. MIra's uncle and two aunts live with them and work in the family business. The younger brother (Mira's other uncle, his family and the grandmother remained in Vilna The other story is from eight-year-old Rosha's point of view. Rosha is being hidden by a Christian family in the village and was saved. Her mother, father and grandmother were not as fortunate. Mira's family feels guilty about not doing more to make Rosha and her family move to the United States before it became impossible. The family dynamics become even more stressed when Mira's father decides she will not be returning to the design school and will instead have to work in the family business. All this while Rosha is hiding in the root cellar and dreaming about being reunited with her family. The two stories continue in time and take the reader through the end of the war and beyond. Throughout the novel the reader is wondering if Rosha will ever be reunited with her American family.

This novel is a worthwhile purchase and will help readers understand some of the difficulties families in America who had family in Europe and Russia during the war had to endure.

Disclaimer: My sincere thanks to She Writes Press and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary e-book copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

My Review: Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres, specifically books dealing with the Holocaust. Told using two narratives The Sweetness follows the lives of two cousins during WWII: Rosha, an eight year old girl from the Lithuanian city of Vilnius and her teenage cousin Mira who is an upper middle class teenager living a very different life in New York.

This was a much lighter look at the Holocaust and overall didn't seem to have the energy or the emotion that I was expecting. This stems from the fact that it mainly focuses on Mira and her life in the USA as she tries to make her way in the fashion business and deal with her day-to-day family issues in the garment business. The differences between Rosha and Mira's lives were unquestioningly glaring in contrast. You could sense Mira and her family's fear for their relatives overseas as well as the cost to her aunt's mental health but ultimately it left me feeling like Mira's life was much more superficial than Rosha's loss and daily fears.

While this book did give the reader a view of the Holocaust through the eyes of a privileged Jewish teenager in the US, I can't say it was as emotional or riveting as I was hoping. I can see it being popular with people who want a lighter read involving WWII and how the war affected a Jewish family on two different continents.

Thank you NetGalley for gifting me with an Advanced Readers Copy of The Sweetness by Sande Boritz Berge. In exchange I am providing my honest opinion.

Over the years I have read many Holocaust books. Each is horrific and painful to absorb. What I enjoyed and appreciated most about The Sweetness, was indeed what the title reads. This novel does not necessarily focus on the pain and terror of the Holocaust, but rather on the strength and love of family and strangers.

Two cousins are living parallel lives in the fall of 1941. Sweet inquisitive Rosha lives in Vilna with her Bubbe (grandmother), father and mother. Her cousin Mira is living in Brooklyn, New York in a fancy townhouse with her parents, brother, two single aunts and her single uncle. Mira's family is well -off and while they worry and fret over the conditions of their family living in Eastern Europe their daily life is pretty extravagant. Rosha, however, is leading a very different life in Vilna. Soldiers parade up and down the street, Jews are forced to wear yellow stars and can no longer keep their jobs and homes. When Rosha's family is forced to evacuate their home, her father makes a decision which alters Rosha's life.

This story read so authentic that it would not surprise me if the author heard these exact words spoken and retold around her own family table. I adored each character and felt a connection to the Kane, Kaninsky & Jaruska families.

The Sweetness is a worthwhile and satisfying read. My only complaint was the ending seemed a bit rushed and abrupt. Still I have no problem recommending this novel as a must read!

[Maria Beltrami · Rating 3 out of 5]

Due storie intrecciate, quella di Mira e quella della cugina Rosha, la prima che cresce in America, la seconda rimasta, con la sua famiglia nell'Europa inghiottita dal nazismo.
L'idea è decisamente buona, ma il romanzo lascia lo stesso un po' troppo a desiderare, sbilanciato com'è verso la parte "americana".
E' chiaro che è molto più facile descrivere la vita agiata di Mira, nonostante il padre sia abbastanza dispotico e la famiglia allargata piuttosto invadente, piuttosto che quella di Rosha, che si salva solo perché una vicina cristiana accetta di prenderla in custodia e nasconderla mentre i suoi genitori vengono portati alla morte, ma lo stesso l'autrice si sarebbe dovuta impegnare in un maggior approfondimento di questa parte.
Ringrazio AuthorBuzz e Netgalley per avermi fornito una copia gratuita in cambio di una recensione onesta.

Two intertwined stories, the one of Mira and the one of her cousin Rosha, the first growing up in America, the second remained with her family in the Eastern Europe swallowed up by the Nazis.
The idea is very good, but the novel leaves anyway a bit too much tobe desired as it is biased towards the "American" side.
It is clear that it is much easier to describe the comfortable life of Mira, despite her pretty despotic father and her rather intrusive extended family, rather than that of Rosha, who is only saved because a Christian neighbour agrees to take her into custody and hide her while her parents are brought to death, but anyway the same should have engaged herself in a deeper analysis of this part.

[Carole P. Roman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sande Boritz Berger debut book is a representation of life in both America and war-ravaged Europe during World War II. Rosha Kaninsky is the beloved child of her doting parents, who live Vilna. Protected and coddled, her parents and grandmother shield her from the gathering storm raging outside their door. The Nazi's have invaded, wreaking chaos with everyday life, and her loving parents are forced to make heart-wrenching decisions to save their only child's life.
On the other side of the world, Mira Kane, Rosha's first cousin is growing up privileged in
Brooklyn. Chafing from her father's stifling over-protection, she strives to break free from
his control to embrace life on her own terms. Two women, both loved, living under totally different circumstances, Rosha's tragedy influencing the way Mira's life is allowed to develop. Berger paints a realistic portrait of war-torn Europe, as well as the care-free, but guilt ridden Jewish existence in the states. Unknown by her American relatives, Rosha is hidden by a sympathetic candlemaker. At the same time her cousin navigates the shifting reality for women in the States while dealing with the heavy burden of knowing they were both safe and free, the unthinkable is happening in Europe. Lovingly written portrait of a family separated by war.

[Barbara Stark-Nemon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sande Bortiz Berger’s The Sweetness offers the delicious opportunity for the reader, already satisfied with this complex and poignant family story that crosses oceans and time and war, to wonder how much of the tale is true. Berger hints in her acknowledgments that The Sweetness is based on her own family, but good historical fiction seamlessly marries factual and created elements in the service of an immediate and gripping story, and Berger has certainly accomplished that. Following the lives of Rosha, a child in Vilna, Lithuania, and Mira, a teen in Brooklyn, NY, Berger builds the lives of these girls with beautifully evocative descriptions of everyday sights and sounds. We stay with those lives as WWII and the Holocaust arrive and have their impact, but the focus of The Sweetness is on the hopes, the dreams, the disappointments, the loves and the losses that Rosha and Mira experience. The sustaining bonds of family and human kindness that weave the story strands of this rich novel together are sweetness indeed.

[PopcornReads - MkNoah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Maybe it’s my need to make sense out of man’s inhumanity to man that keeps drawing me back to novels about the World War II era, and it’s probably much more complicated than that. The child on the book cover for Sande Boritz Berger’s The Sweetness drew me in. When I read the publisher’s description, I realized this may be a historical novel but its thread is still very relevant today. It’s about trying to make sense of senseless things that happen in life. It’s also not just about those who perish but the price those pay who survive. And it’s a story about hope. If you like historical fiction, this is a novel you’ll want to know more about so read the rest of my review at http://popcornreads.com/?p=7719.

The Sweetness is a rich story, both in characters and setting, that stayed with me for several days after reading the last page. I enjoyed getting lost in this WWII tale, told from characters on both sides of the Atlantic. The period detail was evocative and real. I loved the interweaving of the two threads of the Kane/Kaminsky family, beautifully symbolized by the family business of clothing/knitware. Fantastic! I looked forward to getting back to the book each night at the end of a long day, and am sad that it is over. Well done! I highly recommend it!

In a sense, this book is fictionalized "Holocaust lite". The reader sees events in Europe through the eyes of a young girl whose family is caught in the horrors there. And, we follow her American cousin. While this book was by no means boring or poorly written, readers of many books on the topic will not find new insights, nor were the characters unique.

During a tumultuous time, in a world gone wrong, a young girl is forced into hiding while her American relatives mourn her death. Sande Boritz Berger weaves an emotional story about the Holocaust and a Jewish family living in New York during World War ll. Berger reminds us all of the senseless deaths and the lasting effects endured by those who survived. A sensitive, touching story that is very well told. Looking forward to Berger's next book.

Two cousins, one living a privileged life in NY, one hidden in a neighbor's cellar, when the rest of her family is killed. Although the book is meant to alternate between the viewpoints of the two cousins, during the years of the Holocaust, only one story, the story of Mira, the cousin in America is fully fleshed out, which is why I can only give the book 3 stars.

This book is about WWII. A family in America and their family in Europe. Rosha is 8 years old in Europe with her parents when the Nazis are coming to their ghetto soon and the brother and family in America who are rich and worried about his brother. Loved it especially because it brought back food memories and ways of my family.

A nice contrast between the life of one cousin caught in the horrors of WWII Europe and one cousin suffering the normal trials of life in America. There are several other stories threading through the novel, but all of them tie together well.

War Changed Everything

The history of WW11 is fascinating to me because my parents lived through that time. It was a time of killing, hiding, hurting, and also great courage. I see all those things here, and more. Terror comes alive along with bravery and truly honorable people. I pray that those who suffered will be doubly blessed in Heaven by God.
