I took a while to really get into this book, but once I got towards the middle, well, let’s just say I’m not sure how I got through that many pages today other than “I didn’t put it down.” (I did put it down to go to bed last night.) I would certainly read a sequel.

I did not expect this book to turn out to be so well written, nuanced and intriguing. It touches on important topics, such as survivor guilt, generational trauma, grief, consent, being responsible for a sick relative, and more. I also appreciated the glossary at the end.
That's how life is. You're breathing, so you have to keep going, even when it doesn't feel like you're still alive.
They'll never welcome us into their whole cities, because ambition becomes something ugly when it has a Jewish face.
