this is the best book Marge Piercey has written in her long history.
her charachters are so lifelike and the way she brings it all together at the end is amazing. this author has been around a very long time and she just gets better

Fascinating account of (fictional) ordinary lives during WWII. Mostly centered around Jewish women's lives, covers the range from a resistance fighter in France trying to find her way through the violence to a preteen in New York facing anti-semitism and abuse but too young to understand the causes. Each character is deeply individual with no sterotypes, and has unexpected strengths and weaknesses.
Helpful Score: 3
The book started out a little slow but once I got past the first part of the introduction of characters, I loved the book.
