5.0 out of 5 stars 'Short Friday' One of mankind's most beautiful stories, July 12, 2005

This review is from: Short Friday (Hardcover)

The title- story of this collection is one of Singer's finest stories and one of the most beautiful I know.

It tells of a childless couple who live in deep love and joy with each other. And this as they pray and dream for a child of that love. The story tells of their preparations for Shabbat in the winter when Shabbat comes in very early (Thus:Short Friday).

I will not say anything further than this.

Read this story and know the pleasure of truly great literature.
