Die Schoene Frau Seidenman

An extraordinary novel covering a few days in Warsaw in 1943...or covering most of the 20th century, depending on how you see the book. Although concerned with rescuing Mrs Erma Seidenman--a Jew who has been passing as Aryan--from the Gestapo, the book is not a thriller, or an action story. Its consideration of our responsibility for other people is deep, complex, profoundly honest, and troubling to most honest readers. As fine a work of art as has been produced anywhere in the world in the last quarter of the 20th century.
