My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
5.0

"Why does everything that lives have to die?" "So life would be precious, Asher. Something that is yours forever, is never precious."
What is My Name is Asher Lev about?
As another goodreads reviewer asks,
•A gifted child who can't not create art.
•A misfit to a misfit religious community.
•The attempt at understanding, love and generation gap between fathers, mothers and children.
•What is tradition and what is truth.
There are no words for the feelings this book gave me. Maybe that's what it's about. There is art. Highly recommended.
