The Way BackBook Review | 📚📚📚📚 4.5/5Gavriel Savit | Knopf Books for Young Readers It was time to read something less heavy (I’ve been reading a lot about social justice and social injustice lately). So, I stumbled across this new book. A YA (young adult) novel with fantasy and Jewish fantasy tomes alluded to in the publisher’s book blurb. I really needed to read this book at this time. It had…

Anna and the Swallowman by Gavriel Savit. I've not read a book in a long time that I can say is truly beautifully written until I picked up Anna and the Swallow Man. Set in occupied Poland during WW2 the story follows a young girl named Anna who looses her father one morning due to the war. She is left alone and unwanted by many of her townsfolk friends until a stranger - a peculiar man, takes her under his wing and leads her on a road of survival during a time when surviving was one of the hardest challenges that could be set. They meet aquatences, enemies, and even a kindred spirit along their path of solitude and companionship. Never have I read a book about the war that has transported me into a world that allows us to see a glimpse of the reality of a horrific, scary, unpredictable and lonely world that was frequently experienced by so many during the time of the war. Despite the nature of the characters situation and hardships Gavriel Savit shows us that in spite of war bonds can be made (perhaps even, stronger in times of sorrow), the warmth and joy of friendship and the importance of the little joys in life be it a kind gesture of sharing when there is little to be had, singing with a friend or committing a compromising act for the people you care and love the most. This is an amazing book and one which I feel should be experienced by all. I hope that if you do pick it up, that you enjoy it as much as I did :)
