In my opinion this is the best book that I have read this year. Definitely deserved the National Book Award. A wonderful story of what life was like for blacks and Jews in the mid 1930s in Pennsylvania. It is a story of acceptance and of family as well as both overt and covert racism as well as discrimination and the characters in the story rise above it all.
