My Name Is Asher Lev
by Chaim Potok
This was such a hard book! It really made me think and pulled at (or rather tried to rip out) my heart strings. It was hard to decide who to agree with and decide what was “right” because each lifestyle had good to it and had such far reaching consequences. But no matter who was right or wrong or neither, my heart hurt for the parents. As a mother, this family situation would be so hard to deal with. Loving your kids can hurt. And I hurt for Asher, who just wanted to be himself. What would I have done if I were him? I have no idea.
It really made me think of my own relationships and life choices. This is a very relatable story. It stuck with me for weeks. It was hard to get into anything else because I was so emotionally effected by this.
So, in conclusion, not as good as The Chosen, but more emotional and relatable. Both are great books that I will read again. But I need to remember how hard this one was to read!
