Summary

Momik, the only child of two survivors, is brought up in Israel by a family seeking to ignore the past. No-one will explain to him what life was like ‘Over There’ or what the ‘Nazi Beast’ is.

Critics Review

One of the most ambitious, generous, beautiful, indispensable books I’ve been fortunate enough to read

One of the most ambitious, generous, beautiful, indispensable books I’ve been fortunate enough to read – Jonathan Safran Foer * Guardian *See Under: Loveis one of the most disturbing novels I’ve ever read…When I was already well into it, I’d circle it warily before picking it up again … then fall instantly under its spell, for it is wickedly readable – Edmund WhiteThis novel is so innovative, yet at the same time so readable, that I can only say that it gives the lie to that critical cliche. It is a tour de force of pure storytelling, and a demonstration of both the need for story and the limits of all particular stories. I consider it a triumph * Guardian *
