Away: A Novel by Amy BloomMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lillian Leyb flees Russia after losing her family in a pogrom. She comes to America thinking her daughter has survived. She begins an odyssey that takes her into the Yiddish theater of New York, through Chicago by train, into Seattle's African-American world of Jazz and across the Alaskan wilderness towards Siberia. This is a wonderful novel of strength and humor.
