Journal Entry 1 by quietorchid from Saint Paul, Minnesota USA on Tuesday, June 30, 2015
The first half of this book was astounding. Read the reviews and blurbs and they will tell you it is the complex tale of Jakob Beer. At seven, he lost his family, his village, his way of life to the Nazis. Found by a Greek geologist, Jakob is smuggled to Greece to spend the rest ogf thw war hidden in a hilltop house, slowly becoming human again.

The language and emotions are amazing and precise. I wanted Athos and later Jakob to live forever. Michaels continues the story, moving to another man. Bornn of concentration camp survivors, living in Toronto, he meets Jakob once, and struggles to understand the arc of Jakobs life and work.

Fly far little book!
