| Description: |
|
"Chaim Potok's remarkable book will give universality to a tiny section of Williamsburg in Brooklyn as Joyce gave an eternity of urbane meaning to one day in Dublin's fair city. . ." "A simple, almost meager story about Jewish people who are far from typical--yet the warmth and pathos of the dealings between fathers and sons, the understated odyssey from boyhood to manhood, give the book a range that makes it worth anybody's reading." |

Miriam (USA: MN) (2020/02/21):
It is the now-classic story of two fathers and two sons and the pressures on all of them to pursue the religion they share in the way that is best suited to each. And as the boys grow into young men, they discover in the other a lost spiritual brother, and a link to an unexplored world that neither had ever considered before. In effect, they exchange places, and find the peace that neither will ever retreat from again. . . .
