a woman witness's her daughters death at the hands of a concentration
camp guard and ,30 years later, we visit her in an amazingly written
book by cynthia ozick
reviewed The Shawl on
Helpful Score: 1
This story was wonderfully written. Ozick wrote with such a way that when the mother suffers the reader suffers. The mother's love and sacrifice for her baby is beautiful and the type of love that is exemplary and memorable. One will not easily forget this story.
