Book Description

A National Jewish Book Award winner, this remarkable novel "emerges as a paradoxical tale of how to make peace with an unbearable past and the sin of pride" (The New York Times Book Review). As the residents of the Emma Lazarus retirement home prepare to stage a production of Hamlet, 83-year-old Otto Korner is forced to relive his own tragedy.
