Novel Review- Day After Night- Anita Diamani

Title: Day After Night

Genre: Novel

Grade: A-

Notable People: Anita Diamani

Review: Really, really well written and interesting book/story. True depiction of little known post war events in which Eastern European Jews made their way when liberated from concentration camps to their dreams in British held Israel. The British then interred them in their own mini-camps. This is the story of an escape from such a camp to life on the Kibbutz- told through the eyes of four young woman survivors. Sweet and bittersweet at once, it chronicles the last months of the British empire there and the seedlings of modern Israel. I read it in two days-quite compelling.
