Product Description
When Nathan Malkin returns to New York from premature retirement in Israel, he comes bearing a heavy baggage of memory -- insistent recollections of his parents' bitter marriage, of the tragic deaths of his wife and only son, and of his strange, guilt-ridden relationship with a deranged, now deceased brother, Nachman. Central to Malkin's schemes is The Stolen Jew, a famous novel he wrote many years back that tells the luminous, wonderfully melodramatic tale of a Jewish boy in Imperial Russia kidnapped from a shtetl to fulfill another boy's term of service in the czar's army.

A complex read with a book within a book. October 30, 1999

8 out of 10 found this review helpful
If I could bring this unusual book into popularity, I would be doing many readers a favor. It is a story about family, about self, about Judiasm. Many complex relationships with people who have issues in their lives. The main character is an author and his book is set into the larger book so that the reader is actually going between the two stories. A trip to Russia to aid refusniks is woven into the plot. If you like books with great substance, do yourself a favor and get this one.
