Book Reviews of Away: A Novel

Book Review: Mesmerizing
Summary: 5 Stars

Wow! Just finished this fascinating story and my mind is churning with Lillian's pilgrimage and the compelling people she meets on her journey to be reunited with her daughter in Siberia. What I especially love about Bloom's novel is the way she foretells the future of so many of her characters. Although they are not with us, in her chronicle, any longer we look into the future and know their fate as we also know Sophie's fate. Not what I thought it would be, but perfect in the end.

Summary of Away: A Novel

Panoramic in scope, Away is the epic and intimate story of young Lillian Leyb, a dangerous innocent, an accidental heroine. When her family is destroyed in a Russian pogrom, Lillian comes to America alone, determined to make her way in a new land. When word comes that her daughter, Sophie, might still be alive, Lillian embarks on an odyssey that takes her from the world of the Yiddish theater on New York's Lower East Side, to Seattle's Jazz District, and up to Alaska, along the fabled Telegraph Trail toward Siberia. All of the qualities readers love in Amy Bloom's work-her humor and wit, her elegant and irreverent language, her unflinching understanding of passion and the human heart-come together in the embrace of this brilliant novel, which is at once heartbreaking, romantic, and completely unforgettable.
