As a Driven Leaf by Milton Steinberg, Chaim Potok
5.0
The fictionalized account of Elisha Ben Abuah, with many of the pieces filled alternatively with actual accounts of the Talmud and product of a creative imagination.
Milton Steinberg has done a masterful work with bringing the tumultuous era of Talmudic times to life. The story drew me in and kept me there till the last page, where I sobbed and sobbed for the elusive peace Elisha never found.
