Jewish Book Council on This Darkness Will Never End

I'm thrilled to say the influential and authoritative Jewish Book Council has published a review of This Darkness Will Never End, and it's an exceptionally perceptive review.

Reviewer Eleanor Foa called the collection an "impressive book of short stories."

Among the highlights, this spot-on observation:

"This Dark­ness Will Nev­er End does not direct­ly depict the Holo­caust. Instead, this col­lec­tion of fable-like tales plunges us into the lives of poor, rur­al, Jew­ish fam­i­lies — most­ly from the point of view of women and chil­dren — before, dur­ing, and after the war. We know their future, but they do not. This van­ished world is vivid­ly ren­dered and incred­i­bly poignant, par­tic­u­lar­ly because of what is inferred."
