The Chosen by Chaim Potok
5.0
What a beautiful story this is. Two boys and their two fathers navigate the complexities of religion, disagreement, friendship, respect, and the trials of life. Set toward the end of WWII, this is a coming of age story that highlights both the struggle and the glory of individuality and change.
Aside from the plot itself, the book is short and well-written. Cover to cover took me about 48 hours, and I didn’t come across any parts that dragged or that I felt were unnecessary. The characters were well developed; given that there were so few of them, Potok really had ample opportunity to flesh them out in wonderful detail.
I don’t have much else to say about this book, so I’m going to leave it at that. Beautiful and highly recommended.
