A beautiful and tragic blend of history and fictionBasically told as three stories in one, it is a beautiful blend of past, present, and an allegorical fictional tale that interweaves between the two.

This seems something of a departure for Picoult - focusing as it does on the horrors of war and how terrible experiences affect the families of those who come after. Sage Singer is a very strong character and beautifully placed as a vulnerable baker within her community. I enjoyed her story very muc...
