"I am a huge fan of Isaac Singer and this is by far his best novel. Singers characters are some of the most interesting ones I've ever come across in a novel. His characters are riddled with desire, despair, and a lethal dose of Holocaust survivor's guilt. Also, this novel has been wonderfully adapted into film by Paul Mazursky and features the beautiful Lena Olin as the fiery "Masha." Must read and must watch!"
"This is a story about Herman Broder and the 3 women in his life. Herman was hidden by a Polish peasant during the Holocaust and he later marries her. He has an affair with a Jewish refugee. Meanwhile his first wife, believed to be dead, is found alive.
I found this to be a very engrossing tale of people who are all flawed in some way and haunted by their holocaust experience.
"I did not like this book. Hence the one lonely star. I guess you have to give at least one star... I mean the author went through all that effort and agony to write a novel. I guess he deserves something. I shall reward him with a gold star. One gold star. I'll start a category for my lone star books, the Texas category."
