Florence Reiss Kraut recommends
Klara's Truth (2024)
Susan Weissbach Friedman
"In her beautifully written and riveting debut novel, Friedman propelled me on a journey to post-WWII Poland where the ghosts of a once vibrant Jewish community haunted me. With great sensitivity, Friedman uses her experience as a social worker and therapist to show how a rejecting mother and hidden childhood sexual trauma froze Klara's heart and left her fearful of close relationships. I rejoiced as Klara gradually finds purpose and love in this engrossing family saga that I could not put down."
