"This is a book I re-read every few years. I figure if I can get one pithy quote from a book, then reading it was all worthwhile. There are many quotables in this book. One I like is, "Shy people are capable of the boldest of acts.""
"A timeless classic with good reason. I read it years ago and appreciate it even more today. It's a portrait of a time, a place and a particular culture, but Singer could easily be describing the members of my idiosyncratic Southern family circa 2009 instead of the Hasidic Jews of early 20th century Poland."
