Prayers for the Living: A Novel
Three generations of the Bloch family unfold through conversations between grandmother Minnie and her companions. Cheuse structures this novel like memory itself - circular, repetitive, always returning to the wounds that won't heal. The rabbi son carries his family's expectations and his own secrets with equal weight. For readers who understand that being legendary often means being lonely, who know that the most religious families sometimes harbor the deepest mysteries. The conversations reveal more than any omniscient narrator could.
