Written in a poetic and dreamy style, I enjoyed the language and especially the characters of The Illuminated Soul. The story centers around a rare fifteenth century manuscript and a lovely, mysterious woman who enters the lives of two boys and their mother one summer. Joseph, the elder of the two boys, is obsessed with perfect readings of Torah, while the younger is going blind and depends on a strip of silk to filter the sun's light. A neuroradiologist, Stollman interweaves just a touch of science into a beautiful and mystic look at relationships and the power of the desire for beauty. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A few years after the Second World War, a stranger enters the lives of Joseph Ivri and his family in Windsor, Canada. A dazzling beauty telling tales of wondrous places and wartime dangers, Eva carries with her, at great risk, the renowned Augsburg Miscellany - a magnificent 15th century illuminated manuscript. And, as Joseph recounts the story of Eva and his growing love for her, he finally reveals the novel's secrets: the darkness to which we are all subject.

Asa, the brother of Joseph, who narrates the novel, may have an illuminated soul. He suffers from a slowly developing blindness. Eva is albe to affirm to affirm his special quality as a human being and he seems to have a character full of simplicity and goodness that one might associate wih a good soul. He is able to draw and very accomplished at it, and his life possesses a worthwhile quality to it.
Adele may have become illuminated, as she performs research across the river in Detroit for Eva, because Eva has developed a passport problem. Adele is widowed, bright, devout but closed in. But she is transformed by Eva when she begins to discover her own talents in baking and and then is able to set up her own business.
Perhaps even the narrator is illuminated in the relaying of the life of Eva and theose who are transformed by her. We as readers may allow ourselves to be transformed and allow ourselves to produce our illuminated life. ( )
