Customer Reviews

It was a great book.

A heartfelt, poignant, tale of woe and joy. Read it today.

You will be sorry when this book ends!

An engrossing tale. Although quite long, the pages fly. A great way to learn about the years leading up to the Russian Revolution . One gains great insights into the hardships endured in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Eastern Europe and Russia. I would strongly recommend it.

A beautiful but heartwrenching story

Malkeh and Her Children is one of my favorite books - it really gave me insight into the Jewish faith and a start to understanding the tragedy the Jews have endured. I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in history, religion and families - it's amazing the different twists and turns you'll go through on your journey through this book. A truly beautiful but heartwrenching story.
