Bookish Quotes
"Books are engines of change,windows on the world, and (as a poet has said) “lighthouses erected in the sea of time.” They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print."

Journal Entry 3 by
After her family is destroyed in a Russian pogrom, Lillian Leyb, a dangerous innocent, an accidental heroine, comes to America alone, determined to make her way in a new land. When word comes that her daughter, Sophie, might still be alive, Lillian embarks on an odyssey that takes her from the world of the Yiddish theater on New York's Lower East Side to Seattle's Jazz District, and then up to Alaska, along the fabled Telegraph Trail toward Siberia. All of the qualities readers love in Amy Bloom's work—her humor and wit, her elegant and irreverent language, her unflinching understanding of passion and the human heart—come together in the embrace of a novel that is at once heartbreaking, romantic, and completely unforgettable. I opened a package today to see what my friend Milan had sent me for this month's JOE (Just anOther Exchange) book. I'm totally intrigued by the description on the back cover and it seems like just the kind of non-genre book that I enjoy. I'm looking forward to reading it. |
