Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A profoundly moving novel about a Holocaust survivor's struggle to remember both the heroic and the shameful events of his past, and about his American-born son's need to assimilate his father's life into his own.

Professor Wiesel did me the honor of writing a blurb for my novel, The Heretic (Library of American Fiction), ... Read More
