It seems to be an intriguing retelling of rumplestiltskin, made more realistic. A girl in rural Russia with all the problems Jews had in those days, takes over her father's money lending business. Her proud grandfather says that she can turn silver into gold. The wrong elf-like monster overhears it. And that's where everything goes wrong. And that's also where I am in the book, as I write this. Exciting!
