Set in an unnamed Eastern European country, the first part of this book is an amalgam of fairy tale imagery, with elements of Hansel & Gretel, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood. The book follows the main character, Ilana, through her journey to the United States and her consequent life as an immigrant. Eventually, Ilana's stories are interwoven with those of her daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter and the men who come into their lives too briefly. A fascinating and unique book.
