This book contains the short story "The Shawl" and the novella, "Rosa." The compilation gets four stars, because I found the novella... not quite amazing. Though certainly very very good.

But "The Shawl" may be the most brilliant and carefully worded Holocaust narrative I've ever encountered. Ozick has won my eternal respect- every word in the story is calculated, but it never seems overworked. Absolutely amazing. Tiny, but incredibly effective.
