Yaffa (United Kingdom) (2008/09/09):
Descriptions of this novel make it sound like it is about 3 generations of women. It is really only about the grandmother with a bit about the daughter and granddaughter serving as bookends to the story. That being said it is a very interesting story. Though some of it may be lost on people without a Jewish / Yiddish background it deals with universal themes of choices people make about how the universe works and being religious or not. Like other books by the author there are philosophical ideas interwoven throughout the story.
