In 1939, the families in a remote Jewish village in Romania feel the war close in on them. Danger is imminent in every direction, yet the territory of imagination and belief is limitless. At the suggestion of an eleven-year-old girl and a mysterious stranger who has washed up on the riverbank, the villagers decide to reinvent the world: deny any relationship with the known and start over from scratch. Destiny is unwritten. Time and history are forgotten. Jobs, husbands, a child, are reassigned. And for years, there is boundless hope. But the real world continues to unfold alongside the imagined one, eventually overtaking it.… (altro)

Dystopia, Romania (

)

JBarringer | Dec 15, 2023 |

It took me a while to get into this book – partly because it wasn’t what I expected, partly because I feared that a book set in World War II would be emotionally harrowing. It was, it wasn’t, it didn’t matter after a while because the superb language swept me up and away into the story. Not your average tale-telling, but utterly riveting and rich in emotional depth. (

A lyrical, haunting story. A small village of Jews tried to recreate their world and start over. The biblical symbolism and references aboynd, especially in the beginning. Rain and floods and stars are significant motifs. Of course they are unable to keep the "old world" away and it storms back in. Another significant motif is that of parenthood. What happens to Lena happens to her own son. Her husband is pirated away (Joseph?) She is essentially sold away (Hagar?) and starts over too. Yes, it is "another" WWII story, but original and based on truth. Stories are everything, as the book reiterates.
Worth reading. (

This book leaves me in a quandary. I understand and accept the decision of the small village of Jewish people who try to avoid being part of the atrocities of World War II by starting a "new and hidden world". They are already somewhat hidden due to the fact that they live on a peninsula. I also see how that decision will not work as planned. But some of the other situations that occur are hard to comprehend. At the same time these unusual happenings really made me ponder life situations. If that was the intention of the author, she did succeed. All in all, this is an interesting, if not unusual read. (

Interesting story/fable. beautifully written, while also frustrating and at times infuriating. The first half struck me as almost whimsical, lyrical,dream-like, the second half was more realistic and disturbing. 5/6 of the way thru I was very angry at the author and her characters, but by the end I felt she won me back by bringing the story to a more optimistic but not fairy-tale conclusion.

"Debut novelist Ausubel has written a riveting, otherworldly story about an all-too-real war and the transformative power of community. Recommended."
