My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
5.0
This book doesn't wait for you to find a place for it in your heart. It carves itself into your very soul and refuses to go even when you cry out in grief.
Asher Lev was never a real person, but he lives so vibrantly in these words on a page that I have seen his paintings in my dreams. On the other hand, there is almost too much truth in this book for it to have ever happened.
500000/5 I recommend for everyone, no matter what you believe in, as long as you have looked at a painting and wondered how much pain its beauty caused and how much pain caused its beauty.
