Many years have passed since Oliver Levin — a bestselling mystery writer and a lifetime sufferer from blocked emotions — has given any thought to his parents, Holocaust survivors who committed suicide. But now, after years of uninterrupted literary output, Oliver Levin finds himself blocked as a writer, too. Oliver's fourteen-year-old daughter, Ariel, sets out to free her father from his demons by summoning the ghosts of his parents, but, along the way, the ghosts of Primo Levi, Jerzy Kosinski, and Paul Celan, among others, also materialize in this novel of moral philosophy and unforgettable enchantment.

This book, by far, is the best Holocaust fiction that I have read. It's very beautifully written, and often times I found myself lost in the intricate and stunning way in which the author describes humanity. It delves into so many different themes- abandonment, loss, love, family relationships, suicide, life beyond death, mysticism, genocide, and politics. I've read it three times now, and I am quite certain I'll find myself picking it up again one day.
One of my favorite quotes-
"When the people you love leave you, when they just disappear and you never hear from them again, something inside you goes away as well. It's a form of violence, as bad as any bruise. It's not right to call it a broken heart. The heart works just fine; it just doesn't want to. You become less of what you were. Not because of the pain, but because of what you have to do to protect yourself from it. You learn to cover up. You have to decide whether you should love anymore, whether it makes sense to feel all over again- the love, and the loss. Because maybe feelings of loss are stronger than feelings of love, eve at their best. I suppose some people are better off without love because they wouldn't survive if they had it and then suddenly it was taken away."
