My Name Is Asher Lev
by Chaim Potok
My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok is the story of a young Hasidic Jewish boy who has an uncanny gift for drawing. This gift flies in the face of his parent's - especially his father's - religious beliefs and plans for Asher's life.
Over the years, and despite his father's anger, Asher continues his deep compulsion for drawing. The tension between them is very strong, and Asher's mother is caught in the middle.
It's a good story, an easy read, and you don't need a religious background to appreciate it - although you may spend some time googling certain Yiddish words! I highly recommend it.
