Perhaps the most uncomfortable thing about the book is how little information about the dead girl survived. The family truly kept their secrets well. ( )

Very well researched story. Other cultures fascinate me so I enjoyed learning about the jewish people and their history. Also interesting was the trial outcome and the aftermath for the family. I had to wonder if this had happened today how the outcome of the trial might have been different. I think the time period had some influence. Good book, worth reading,especially for those interested in the jewish faith. ( )
