Publisher Description: "This is storytelling at the top of the heap." "Powerful and dreamlike, this intergenerational meditation on family, mortality, and hope is far more than the sum of its parts." "Achingly familiar and wonderfully strange." "Plunge into The History of Soul 2065, there's nothing like it." Months before World War I breaks out, two young Jewish girls just on the edge of adolescence--one from a bustling Russian city, the other from a German estate--meet in an eerie, magical forest glade. They are immediately drawn to one another and swear an oath to meet again. Though war and an ocean will separate the two for the rest of their lives, the promise that they made to each other continues through the intertwined lives of their descendants. "Krasnoff's multigenerational, phantasmagoric saga kept me turning the pages at a rapid pace." |
