Nightfather

The legacy of the Holocaust is passed on to a young girl through her father's stories in this celebrated novel. When I was in the camp, her father's stories always begin. Although she lives in the everyday world of school and friends, a daughter is compelled by love to enter her father's harrowing world of hunger, death, and survival in the concentration camp. In a moving Afterword, the author sets the historical context for the novel and speaks directly about her own father, upon whom the novel is based. An extraordinary novel written with passion, lucidity, and restraint (The Forward).
