Which is great because, as you and I and many others pointed out, it's a pretty universal story. <br /><br />I liked it overall, but my reaction was a little less enthusiastic than yours. I loved the Yiddish-inflected English but found the narrative very episodic and spotty, and many of the characters cliched and caricatured. For that reason, I think <i>Bread Givers</i> functions best as a younger YA novel. <br /><br />I've long wanted to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum. I'll probably be in the area this spring or summer so I'll be sure to set aside some time for it.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11058705381647529328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-38836248673593477532011-02-09T06:19:46.416-06:002011-02-09T06:19:46.416-06:00This sounds like a great book and Sara sounds like...This sounds like a great book and Sara sounds like my kind of character!bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-36502048562608084052011-02-07T13:39:55.710-06:002011-02-07T13:39:55.710-06:00I went to the Holocaust Museum all by myself and c...I went to the Holocaust Museum all by myself and cried all the way through it. It has stuck with me more than any other similar experience (museums, etc.) I too bought a book there, but the title escapes me at the moment.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-5539758158063451192011-02-06T21:03:01.373-06:002011-02-06T21:03:01.373-06:00I really think I would like this book.
