A review by marydaleo
Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer

5.0

This is by far the most emotionally charged and uncomfortably poignant book I have read this year in its portrayal of love in its many forms, and absence of love in its many forms, and the fragile bridge of trust we walk in creating or destroying that love. I also learned a lot about Judaism, and I thought the context of four generations of Jews living in both America and Israel added a dimension to an otherwise beautiful story that made it almost magical. I recommend this book to everyone. All humans. But maybe if you're going through a divorce and are feeling a little down on yourself, wait a bit.
