Rating: 5 starsCover synopsis: Asher Lev is a religious boy with an overwhelming need to draw, to paint, to render the world he knows and the pain he feels on canvas. He must learn to master his skill without shaming his people or relinquishing any part of his deeply felt Judaism.
Wow. This was a fabulous piece of literature. Well-written and deeply insightful, it is a story that has been haunting my thoughts all week. Add this to the pile of favorites.
