The Lost Wife
by Alyson Richman
[b:The Lost Wife|11010251|The Lost Wife|Alyson Richman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1394994929s/11010251.jpg|15929266]The Lost Wife by [a:Alyson Richman|57239|Alyson Richman|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1329104957p2/57239.jpg]Alyson Richman captured me immediately. The writing is lovely. Some of the parts that resonated with me were the descriptions of Josef and his father's practice of medicine. Richman's writing assigns great respect and compassion to the care they give to patients. Being married to a physician myself, I felt the truth in her description of Josef's long days at the hospital. I will never forget the story of Josef's father and the wounded bird.
I thoroughly enjoyed the structure of the novel as she artfully wove the stories of Josef and Lenka together in a heartbreaking tale of love and loss.
Most compelling were the descriptions of survival in the ghetto and later concentration camps. I am newly awed by the human compassion the Jewish people were able to maintain in circumstances that defy description.
This book is worth the read. I am grateful to my friend who recommended it!
