A friend who is a Holocaust scholar suggested that I read Cynthia Ozick. She recommended starting with this very short book. The Shawl is the first story and set in a death camp. T he second story, Rose, is about a Holocaust survivor who moves to Florida after closing her New York shop. She actually destroyed the shop. She hates Florida, and I was not sure she liked New York.
I am definitely going to read more Ozick.
