I absolutely loved this novel. With exquisite writing, Mr. Potok portrays a friendship between two Jewish boys from two different sects and their relationships with their fathers. The plot revolves around relationships, not action. I could not believe how compelled I was to keep reading even though there was not much action, which is a testament to Mr. Potok's writing.
A beautiful coming-of-age story. Readers will learn more about the Jewish faith and traditions.
This book is probably one of my favorite "reads" this year.
Sequel: The Promise (which I want to read in the near future)
Points to discuss: Jewish faith, different views of God, some swearing
Categorized as "young adult".
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
