Great review!

(I can’t keep track!) Maybe I’ll read it…or maybe not. I don’t know much do I? Sigh…I need more coffee this morning 😉

That’s kind of what got me but I didn’t think of it in terms of time. I felt as if there were too many stories and the ones that interested me were not resolved. Hard to describe.

His use of language was amazing and did so much to carry the story. Moral might not have been the best choice of words on my part. Ethical, philosophical maybe? Isaac was a tough character to decipher for me- his violent nature and racist beliefs clashed with his sensitivity about any prejudice against him or Jewish people.

Here’s my review: http://readlately.com/?p=518 I don’t think I viewed it quite as morally as you, but there were definitely many shades of that there. I was just blown away but the way Bonert was able to use so many languages to accessibly tell his story.

Still, I think it’s a pretty wonderful book that I’m glad I ended up reading.

I think i need to read it. Setting a book among the Jews of South Africa intrigues me somehow.
