New York Times Best Seller

Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal

On the brink of World War II, with the Nazis tightening their grip on Berlin, a mother’s act of courage and love offers her daughter a chance of survival.

“[A] hymn to the power of resistance, perseverance, and enduring love in dark times…gravely beautiful…Hoffman the storyteller continues to dazzle.” (The New York Times Book Review)

At the time when the world changed, Hanni Kohn knows she must send her 12-year-old daughter away to save her from the Nazi regime. Her desperation leads her to Ettie, the daughter of a rabbi whose years spent eavesdropping on her father enables her to create a mystical Jewish creature, a rare and unusual golem, who is sworn to protect Hanni’s daughter, Lea.

Once Ava is brought to life, she and Lea and Ettie become eternally entwined, their paths fated to cross, their fortunes linked. What does it mean to lose your mother? How much can one person sacrifice for love? In a world where evil can be found at every turn, we meet remarkable characters that take us on a stunning journey of loss and resistance, the fantastical and the mortal, in a place where all roads lead past the Angel of Death and love is never-ending.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Judith Light's intensely dramatic narration suits the subject matter well. She delivers the dialogue passionately, and the narrative is brisk and sharp.... The magical elements seem perfectly realistic as revealed in Light's driving, theatrical delivery. It doesn't take long for the listener to get pulled into this other realm, eager to keep up with Light's narrative pace." (AudioFile Magazine)

Breathtaking.

I can not even come up with the words of how lovely this was. Creating the Golom might have been one of the most magical sequences I have heard....

Hoffman brings her magic to the Holocaust

This is a powerful story about the power of love and what it means to be human. Alice Hoffman is a master storyteller. I was drawn in to the lives of her characters and loved the way she woke different strands of the story together.
Judith Light’s narration was perfect.

Not Alice Hoffman’s Best

The story was slow at the beginning. Got better as the story progressed. Judith Light was a poor narrator.

BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL

Alice Hoffman's writing weaves thin veils of light and dark, fantasy and reality while meandering through the agonizing cruelty of lives being ripped apart as they find a glory in themselves because there is nothing more to loose.
The narration simultaneously expresses tones of dark and light, drawing the listener into the trance of the moment.
This book takes place during the Holocaust but transports us intimately into the lives of families, sons, daughters, lovers, friends, and the miracle of how some survived!
It's fascinating and uplifting. Not once have I felt that I couldn't handle it or wanted to turn it off. In fact, I can't wait to get back to it. It's magnificent - a piece of breathtaking beauty.

Hoffman is a literary artist

The story line kept you hooked from the first chapter to the last words. Hoffman painted the scenes and characters with her detailed descriptions. I enjoyed the book.
