Loved it. I’ve read others by Alice Hoffman & this one didn’t disappoint. The story combines intense love & hope w/the desperation & despair of the Holocaust, of which, for these characters, surviving requires faith and folklore. Not sure I should rate it a 5, but it was a moving story & that alone - when I have an emotional response to a book, gives it 5 stars. A silly rating criteria, but it works for me.
