OLDER FICTION
(1) YA Translated by Brian Murdoch. Alternating sections follow seven-year-old Malka and her doctor mother, Hannah, who become separated while fleeing the Nazis in WWII Poland. Hannah reaches sanctuary across the Hungarian border, but Malka ends up alone in the Jewish ghetto. Pressler's calm, unadorned prose makes Malka's ordeal rivetingly immediate; the images she evokes are unforgettable.
