5.0 out of 5 stars The Island Within -- Fantastic!, July 9, 2005
By 
Eve (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Island Within (Library of Modern Jewish Literature) (Paperback)
Written in 1928, "The Island Within" is a chronicle of 3 generations of Jews, beginning in 1840, Vilna, Lithuania. It tells the story of each generation as they adapt to the current political situations, moving through Europe and finally to America. With each generation, their religious values and practices are challenged and 'adapted', and where the trials and tribulations of choice in marriage partners, their childrens' rebellion, and their thoughts of what it means to be Jewish, are consequently questioned also.

The book is enthralling all the way through (I couldn't put the book down!) - particularly the last chapter (by far the best chapter, but I won't give it away!)

Splendidly written, with much prose, "The Island Within" was a pleasure to read, and I highly recommend it. For Jewish and non-Jewish readers alike, this book is guaranteed to please.

This review is from: The Island Within (Library of Modern Jewish Literature) (Paperback)
The hard-to-find book arrived in exactly the condition the seller described -- and on time. I can't ask for any more than that.
