I haven't read a novel by Ozick yet, although based on what you've said, I think I'll give that novel a try.<br /><br />I'll just find this novel in the bookstores. I think our local bookstores only have Trust and Heir to the Glimmering World. I've been turned off by the doorstop proportions of Trust though.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741756097398605360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-5695525730039315082009-09-17T18:46:48.957-04:002009-09-17T18:46:48.957-04:00Ted,

The Shawl combines a very short story (entitled The Shawl) about a woman in in Nazi concentration camp with a novella (Rosa), which picks up 30 years later when the woman is living in Miami. The story is rather grim and brutal, but it is tempered by the novella... which even offers a glimmer of hope at the end. I'm really looking forward to reading her novel soon. Sounds like The Puttermesser Papers should go on my wish list, too!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-16248907459010824762009-09-17T18:20:54.025-04:002009-09-17T18:20:54.025-04:00Looks like a fun book--great review!Looks like a fun book--great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-64191558286075111232009-09-17T17:46:44.058-04:002009-09-17T17:46:44.058-04:00JoAnn - This was my first full length Ozick work. ...JoAnn - This was my first full length Ozick work.
