<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For Karl and his friends, Judaism is an obstacle that is easily discarded in their turn-of-the-century world. But as a political crisis unfolds, he rekindles a love affair that will force him to take a stand he could never have imagined.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A work of subtle power, at once a historical novel and a moral parable. [Appelfeld] creates an atmosphere charged with ethical significance, painting characters whose feelings are intricate and idiosyncratic, yet resonate sadly and sweetly within us all." --<i>The Boston Globe</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>AHARON APPELFELD</b> is the author of more than forty works of fiction and nonfiction, including <i>The Iron Tracks, Until the Dawn's Light </i>(both winners of the National Jewish Book Award), <i>The Story of a Life</i> (winner of the Prix Médicis Étranger), and <i>Badenheim 1939</i>.
